Our bees are dying...
Our bees are dying at an alarming rate and without them we’re in real trouble. Our food, clothes and very survival depends heavily on the pollination carried out by this little, stripy workforce.
Here’s the facts:
- ONE IN THREE HIVES IS NOW LIFELESS
- BEE KEEPERS HAVE REPORTED LOSSES OF 90% SINCE 2006
- EXPERTS THINK THE UK’S BEES COULD BE EXTINCT WITHIN A DECADE
There are several theories for this alarming drop in bee numbers, but experts agree that lack of wild flowers and safe nesting sites is a contributory factor.
The Bee Station is your chance to help our bees by giving them a refuelling site or a safe, dry nesting habitat in your garden.
