There is always a lot of buzz about this awareness day!
- Did you know? Bees can see a colour imperceptible to humans and known as “bee’s purple”. It is a combination of yellow and UV light.
- Did you know? The average honey bee will make a twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.
- Did you know? Bees are actually a democracy. They have debates when choosing a new home and each scout is given an equal platform. The votes end with a unanimous decision as each bee in the colony does its own research to verify the scout claims. The Queen remains impartial throughout the process.
How you can help:
- Plant bee-friendly shrubs or flowers in your garden
- Make some homes for bumble bees and solitary bees.
- Talk to at least 10 people about bees during the day – raising awareness of the importance of bees
- Dress up as a bee/wear clothes with bee motifs.
- Support a beekeeping / environmental charity.
- Buy honey and other hive products
