·       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.

·       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
