Buy organic plants
,
flowers and seeds. Many
plants and seeds are
treated with pesticides.
Buy chemical free,
unfiltered honey from
a local beekeeper rather
than supermarket honey –
which is mostly sourced from
thousands of miles away.
Ask
for pure comb honey
for a real treat.
Plant bee-
friendly herbs and
wild flowers
in any
spare patch of ground – even
on waste ground that is not
being cultivated.
Go to
for organic seeds.
Give a bee a
home.
Providing a
simple box for wild bees
to live in is a great way
to attract bees without
the commitment
of beekeeping.
