A buzz about bees
Nature-lovers are being urged to help the nation’s bees by creating pollinatorfriendly gardens, schools and neighbourhoods ahead of this year’s Great British Bee Count (19 May-30 June). Now in its fourth year, the Great British Bee Count asks members of the public to download a free fun app to identify and find out more about how we can help the bees in our towns and countryside. More than 15,000 people took part in last year’s Count, organised by Friends of the Earth, with support from Buglife. This year’s app has more bees and plant species to identify, clearer identification and more information on how to help bees. The bee sightings will be shared with researchers and local authorities.
