Did you know that bees are responsible for one in three bites of food
you eat? In fact wild and domestic honey bees perform about 80% of the
pollination all around the world. Pretty amazing, right?
Unfortunately bees are facing more and more problems leading to global
bee colony collapses which are mainly caused by pesticides. After
knowing how important bees are for us to eat - which is kind of
indispensible - we should do everything we can to help the bees.
The good news is: everyone can do something!
This Urban Bee Guide gives you tipps on
what you can do to help!🐝💛
Build a little bee paradise
If you have a balcony, choose plants that nourish bees as much as
possible. We have a free plant guide availble under this link.
Buy local and organic
Pesticides are the number one bee killer. In order to not support
bee-killing agriculture, choose organic fruits and vegetables.
Offer a bee bath
Nectar colleting is hard workd and bees can become very thirsty.
Especially during summer bees appreciate a shallow bowl of water
placed outside. Make sure that you provide a little rock on which the
bee can rest while drinking.
Support your local bee keeper
Local bee keepers are working hard to nurture their bees and are
producing not only honey but also beeswachs products such as soap,
lotions and candles. Plus local honey is made from local floral which
helps with allergies.
