Save our bees – the new buzzword

The recent bank holiday saw many people get stuck into gardening and making their plots barbecuefriendly.

Lawnmowers roared and shears clipped away any unwanted debris. Green tidy-ups ensure our gardens are barbecue-ready. But are they ready for wildlife? After all, our green spaces aren’t used just by us. The plight of bees is a buzzword right now as we understand the huge impact they have on our food chain.

It’s imperative we take responsibility in providing them with vital nutrients and habitats to help them thrive. One third of the food we consume relies on pollination. Bees are facing a swarm of climate change challenges.

You can make a difference though, starting with your glorious garden by planting flowers for pollinators. Chives, Lavender, Foxgloves and many more can help benefit bees and help your garden burst with biodiversity. A low effort for a high benefit.
