While Albert Einstein did not say “if the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left” there is a lot of truth in this comment. Here are bemoreeco we are seriously worried are the decline in the bee population and encouraging people this year to consider that a bee is not just for summer, they are needed for life – Life of the ecosystem.

We are in serious trouble without our friends. Not only are they the only insects that produce food for humans in the form of honey, they pollinate more than 100 crops as well as 90 percent of all flowering plants. We couldn’t begin to duplicate the work accomplished by bees – every bee makes 10 or more flights per day and each flight lasts more than one hour, visiting between 50 to 100 flowers.

So what can we do to help the bee population survive the current climate? It isn’t difficult to make your yard, garden or even patio space a haven for beneficial bees. You’ll be helping these important insects, as well as bringing more nature to your backdoor.

The trust says most gardens in the UK should be able to attract at least six bumblebee species if stocked with the right plants. A packet of suitable wildflower seeds is one of the first things new members of the trust receive, along with a bumblebee identification chart and a newsletter. Join here
