National Honeybee Day is coming up later this week! 🐝
Bees are so incredibly important for our ecosystems. As pollinators, bees play a crucial role in helping plants fertilise and grow, and this produces a richer ecosystem that can support a greater number of plant and insects. A single bee may visit hundreds of flowers in one journey to and from the hive, and so we need to ensure that there is a rich environment of flowers and nectar for them to thrive on.Many towns and cities are reluctant to grow the types of flowers and fruiting trees or bushes that would be good for bees because they require too much maintenance or can become a hazard. We need to try and make bee-friendly environments wherever we can, whether that is in your front or back garden, or even on a balcony or terrace, or window box! Anywhere you can get flowers or fruiting plants, bees will thrive.
