Bee-Safe Spaces

No matter how big or small your space, you can create a haven for bees. A garden, a window ledge, a hanging basket or just a single pot can hold treats for our pollinators. There are a tonne of bee-friendly plants you can grow from flowers, fruit and veg, even trees! Bees love variety 🙂

Choose Organic

The pesticides used in modern farming have been shown to play a huge part in our declining bee populations. Vote with your money and show farmers that we want to work with nature and move towards a more organic world.

If you think that organic produce is too expensive, consider the fact that on average we waste 30% of our food. Now you can feed two birds with one scone by reducing your food waste and using these savings on organic.

Let it Grow

What’s in a name? Most flowers which we consider ‘weeds’ are actually wildflowers which are perfect for feeding bees.

Pristine lawns may look nicer to some but if you want to make your garden safe for bees, put down those herbicides and pesticides. Chemicals on our gardens are especially dangerous during flowering as they will get into pollen and nectar which the bees then take back their hives.

Watering Holes

The average bee flies to 50-100 flowers per trip to collect their pollen. They fly great distances which is all tiring work! Providing water, especially during hotter periods can act as a life saver for some bees. A small dish or bird bath is all that’s needed to be a bee saviour!
