🐝🦋🌻This is a pollinator appreciation post! 🌻🦋🐝

Enjoying sitting in the garden today, in the beautiful sunshine, watching the bees, butterflies and wasps go about their amazing, vital work. They're pollinating our food crops and other wild flower species that in turn, ensure the survival of so much of our wildlife.

However the intensification of agriculture, urbanisation, climate change and heavy use of pesticides has led to the extinction of three bumblebee species in the last decade and leaves all pollinators risk of serious decline or the similar threat of extinction.

To help give back a little of what we so readily take, we can:

Plant for pollinators: Grow more nectar-rich flowers, shrubs and trees to provide for pollinators throughout the year.

Let your garden grow wild: Leaving patches of land to grow wild, let wildflowers grow and make great nesting and feeding sites.

Put away the pesticide: They can harm pollinators and many other beneficial invertebrates. Consider alternatives and only use pesticides as a last resort.

Leave the lawnmower: Cut your grass less often, and remove cuttings to let plants flower.

Build a bee hotel and avoid disturbing or destroying nesting or hibernating insects in grass margins, bare soil, hedgerows, trees or dead wood.
