🐝 🐝 🐝

When you are out in the garden see if you can identify which bees 🐝 are buzzing around your flowers.

They are harvesting nectar and helping to pollinate your flowers to produce fruit.

When plants produce fruit, the seeds to produce new plants are inside.

We need lots of bees 🐝 . They do such an important job in our world, so never harm them.

Of course some bees 🐝 can sting so be careful; but they do not want to sting you. Observe them from a safe distance.

If you find a bee 🐝 lying on the ground, chances are it is exhausted. You can help this little worker by making a simple solution of granulated sugar and water (just a few drops 💧).

Bees have a very long tongue called a proboscis and you can watch the bee 🐝 drink. Hopefully this emergency treatment will revive the bee 🐝. But don’t leave the solution out as this will attract other bees for a free meal, and will upset honey production back at the hive.

Of course, one of the other great things bees 🐝 do is to produce yummy honey 🍯 .

Did you know that flavour of the honey 🍯 depends on the type of flowers 💐 in our gardens and hedgerows.

Bee numbers are falling in the UK 🇬🇧 due to a loss in habitats.

We can help our bee 🐝 population to increase by planting lots of flowering plants such as lavender, hawthorn, bluebells, crocuses and buddliea.
