10 Ways to Save the Bees - The Bee Conservancy

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
You can take action today and help make our world a healthier place for bees. Here are things that you can do to save our bees.

·       UK 270 specisie of bees

·       Bees help plants grow, breed and produce food by transferring pollen between flowering plants.

·       Most effective pollinators

·       Pollinate 80% wildflowers

·       Bees pollinate many of the crops used for animal feed. Without them, it would be harder to produce lots of our meat, egg and dairy products.

·       Broccoli, carrots, fennel, parsnips, turnips, kale, apples, raspberries and tomatoes are among the British crops that rely on pollination by bees.

·       Pollinate important crops – around 70 of UKS crops – on a big and efficient scale

·       Bee pollinated food bigger and healthiers

·       Estimates suggest it would cost UK farmers an incredible £1.8 billion a year to manually pollinate their crops.

·       A third of UK bees disapeared in last ten year

·       If they dissapear we may face problems prodcuing food

·       The use of agricultural chemicals kills of plants that are important to bees

·       Pesticides can affect bees navigation ability and breeding success

·       pesticides and herbicides sprayed across many of the remaining plants, bees are losing more food or face poisoning themselves by feeding on what's left.

·       Air pollution also a threat for pollinators
·       Air pollution changes invertebrate recognition of biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from plants and flowers.

·       Air pollution results in it being more difficult for pollinators such as honeybees to recognise, locate and memorise the location of their floral resources which impacts foraging efficiency and consequently pollination.

·       Particulate pollution can also be an issue for pollinators as the fine hairs on their bodies that become electrically charged to attract pollen can also attract other fine particulates, including dust and heavy metals.

Replace some of your lawn with flowering plants – re-wild it or plant as a meadow area

Plant some British wildflowers

Observe the plants bees particularly enjoy in your garden and in the local area

Plant for biodiversity

Clumps of bee-friendly plants, planted in sunny positions are more attractive to bees than scattered or shady spots

Avoid highly hybridized plants

Avoid double or multi-petalled flowers as they may lack pollen and nectar and be difficult for bees to access

Honeybees like saucer-shaped flowers as they are easier to get into with their short tongues

Grow flowers from organic seeds and bulbs

For honeybees plant larger groups of one plant, unlike bumblebees, honeybees collect one type of pollen per forage flight so do not mix pollen types

Different species of bumblebees have different lengths of tongue which means they feed from different shaped flowers

Large shrubs and trees are a vital food source as well. Five established winter/early spring flowering trees supply a similar amount of pollen and nectar as an acre of meadow

Don’t use pesticides on plants when they are flowering

Plan for blooms year-round for a constant supply of food

Look for the RHS Perfect for Pollinators logo on plants at the garden centre

·       Creating a haven for pollinators by letting areas grow wild and planting more flowers in your garden and local community.

·       Reduce emissions of air pollutants by choosing sustainable transport options where possible and choosing to eat food from local and sustainable sources.

·       Uses greener methods and fewer chemicals to help reduce stormwater pollution

·       Propoerly irrigate garden so it’s not over watered which kills off plants

·       Choose the right plants for the local climate and use good soil type and feed to encourage plant growth for bees to pollinate

·       There are super plants that soak up air polluntion like hedges Cotoneaster franchetii

·       Do not use fertilisers and pesicides that pollute instead use healthy compost and nutrient rich soil – read the labels!

·       Start your own compost bin and reuse all organic waste to fuel garden

·       Properly Clean up and Dispose of Gardening Chemicals, Fertilizer, or Soil Spills so it doesn’t run into soil
