Beeing Engaged in the World Bee Day

I am reminded by my cousin, Lindsey Ulanowsky, about Albert Einstein having once famously said that “if the bee disappeared off the face of the Earth, man would only have four years left to live”. They are so important for our biodiversity and food production (yes including chocolate)!

Today is world bee 🐝 day the theme is “ Bee engaged”. We can all make a difference to help!

🐝Planting bee-friendly plants like heather and daisies and red clover on balconies, terraces, and in gardens can help

🐝Leaving sections of the garden wild and letting the grass grow long gives the bees a place to shelter

🐝make a bee hotel for your garden's bee population

🐝Leaving a small dish with a few pebbles and shallow water in can help if a bee is thirsty

🐝There are also special bricks which bees can live in

🐝Don't use pesticides as they are really harmful to bees

🐝Buy honey and other hive products from your nearest local beekeeper

 

Thank you Lindsey! My Flickr friends let's practice creating good conditions for our bee friends!

 

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
