I was contacted by a group of young people who have set up a
bee-themed enterprise, supplying solitary bee houses and more!
Everyone can find ways to help bees! Here is what they had to say...
"We are a branch of Young Enterprise operating in
Oxfordshire, Abingdon at the school of St Helen & St Katharine. We
hope to bring people's attention to the plight of our bee population, by
marketing products designed to protect the bees and to supply you with a
new addition to your garden/home. The solitary bee is important, as the
Honey Bee is suffering from Colony Collapse Disorder, where worker bees
from a beehive or European honeybee colony abruptly disappear. The
solitary bee is needed as a pollinator more than ever.
Without the solitary bee, we would have no flowers, fruit or vegetables, and a quarter of the tomatoes, flowers or some animals! To save the bee, we are selling eco-friendly products such as wooden bee houses, beeswax candles and bee booklets that contain vital information, pictures and recipes (like honeycomb and honey smoothies!).
Our website can be accessed here: buzzinye.tk"
Pssst ... spread the word!
