Be Bee Wise

This article really is for those who love nature (or bees) and would like to chip in to save them.

Over the past few weeks at school me and a few friends have started a Club to save the bees. We called our group Be Bee Wise!

We did alot of research on our chosen topic and found out many different ways that you can help save the Bees

One way you can chip in to help is by  putting up a ‘Bee Box’ in your garden. This is a box with lots of holes in it that Solitary bees will go and shelter in. Many people have worries about sheltering Bee’s in their garden as they think that they will swarm on them (resulting in some Naaaasty injuries) but that is not the case for Solitary bees as they cannot risk stinging someone or something, as it will result in their death. Whereas with swarming Bees, their sole desire is to protect the other bees in their swarm.

Another way is to have one area of your garden grow wild, many Solitary  bees burrow and a wild area of the garden gives them shelter and protects their burrows.

Thirdly, you can always put a nice upturned flower pot in an area of your garden where bee’s gather, make sure their is a way for the bee to get into the Flowerpot! (i.e a tube)

Remember, this is for the bees! Bees are dying out and we can do something to save them. It is fact that Bees are the main source of pollination for flowers and plants, without bees we would not have as much fruit available to us as we do today.

Imagine a world without fruit, without trees or plants. Then decide whether you want to what to us, is a tiny act. But to the bees, could save their little lives!
