Honeybees are vital to our way of life

We’ve all heard about the threat to honey bees from colony collapse disorder but few people realize that Bumble Bees and hundreds of other essential pollinating insects are also under threat from pesticides, declining habitats and the loss of biodiversity in our towns and countryside.

Brigit and Phil will be outlining the problems but also explaining just what we can do, in our own gardens, allotments, streets and communities, to create Bee Friendly Zones. Not to be missed…
