Helping bees

In spite of the complex challenges facing bees, we know enough to take action to help them. Simply providing more flowers and nesting habitat and reducing pesticide use makes bees healthier, and healthier bees are more resilient and prolific. Putting these straightforward ideas into practice can be transformational at any scale, from farms to parks, gardens and roadside verges. Useful how-to guides are available online, including those from The Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Buglife and The Xerces Society.
