Plant Bee friendly plants!
As part of the celebrations of National Science and Engineering Week 2009, we want you to help save our UK Bees by planting bee friendly plants across the country! This will make them healthier, helping them survive infection, changing weather patterns and more.
Billions of the UK's bees are dying from unknown causes. One in three honey bee colonies in the UK were lost last winter alone. The UK's bumblebees are also suffering because there aren't enough wild flowers for them.
All bees need our support. Bees are vitally important for everyone. In all, they are responsible for pollinating one-third of all the foods we eat!
