To coincide with Earth Day and making our pledges, we learnt all about bees, why they are crucial to life on earth and that they are sadly dying out.. We couldn’t believe that in the UK alone, around 70 crops depend on bee pollination. While there are other methods of pollination, including by other animals and the wind, wild bees can pollinate on a much bigger and more efficient scale. Estimates suggest it would cost UK farmers an incredible £1.8 billion a year to manually pollinate their crops.

We found out that one of the main reasons for bees dying is because they are losing their habitats due to humans building on woodland and grassland areas and different farming techniques.

To do our bit for bees, we planted a wildflower bee garden and hope that it will attract bees once it is grown.
