How can I help our bees? ...๐๐
ย
Did you know about a third of our food wouldn't be here without bees and other pollinators? A recent report however, states that one in every ten species of wild bees face extinction! ๐๐
Their decline can be directly linked to intensive farming, use of pesticides and urbanisation causing a loss of their natural habitats.
Since the 1930's we've lost 97% of our wildflower meadows - so vital for our pollinators!
Whether you have a window box, large garden or allotment, sow some wildflower seeds and, in return, the bees ๐ will pollinate the flowers, fruit, crops and vegetables!
