World Bee Day 2024
It's World Bee 🐝 Day on 20th May, so we're buzzed to bring you some fun facts about the humble Bumblebee 🐝… It's no secret that bees 🐝 are hugely important for the eco-system, and in the UK alone we have 270 species of bee 🐝 ranging from the common Honeybee to the rare and elusive Shrill Carder Bee 🐝.
Bees 🐝 pollinate our wild trees and wild flowers, which then support other insects, which then support birds, bats, mammals and everything up the food chain with food and shelter.
The goal for World Bee 🐝 Day is to strengthen measures aimed at protecting bees 🐝 and other pollinators, which would significantly contribute to solving problems related to the global food supply and eliminate hunger in developing countries.
