Bees

By Josie

Bees are some of the most fascinating insects on the planet. These tiny creatures play a very important role in our world.

Bees are responsible for pollinating around 1/3 of the world’s crops. Without bees, many of our favorite foods would disappear! They fly from flower to flower, collecting nectar and pollen which helps the next generation of flowers grow!

Despite these bees being such superheroes, their population is quickly declining! They face issues such as habitat loss, climate change, and disease. All of these things together are making bees more in danger than ever!

If you think you want to help our bees why not consider planting more bee-friendly flowers, these include things like lavender and sunflowers. And PLEASE avoid using pesticides, it hurts most creatures in your garden – not just the bees.
