After watching BBC Four’s ‘Who Killed The Honey Bee’ programme I was shocked to realise how important bees are to us. This programme was full of interesting facts and figures explaining how the UK Government have announced a £10 million initiative to investigate the decline of the worlds bees, butterflies and other insects. I find it amazing how easily everyone can get involved in saving bees, by planting flowers such as Lavender or Rosemary this can help encourage bees to your garden.
Another necessity for bees is housing, you can add a Ceramic Bee Nester to your garden and this will give them a safe and dry place to rest.
In the past I have always disliked bees because I was fearful of them but now that I actually know the facts and how we can do our bit to help by changing our behaviours I will indeed be doing my bit to save the bees and hope others will to. |
