Help Save the Bees: Why These Tiny Insects Matter More Than You Think (By Evie, Liv and Livvy)

Bees are so important, yet we often do not value them enough. They help produce a lot of the food that we eat daily, not just honey!
They are one of the top pollinators in the world! Without bees, it would be very difficult for farmers to grow the crops we rely on.
Did you know that there are lots of different kinds of bees? These include honeybees, solitary bees and bumblebees.
We interviewed a local beekeeper called Ruth who told us about bees and how we can help them.
Firstly, we asked her what we can do to help bees, and she said the best thing to do was to plant bee friendly plants and flowers such as poppies, sunflowers, geraniums, butter cups and lavender.
She also told us not to use pesticides, because as well as killing off insects, they also kill bees.
Ruth’s favourite part about being a natural beekeeper is watching the bees!
She became a beekeeper because she was worried about bees and their population decline due to climate change, pesticides and diseases.
So let’s help her!
Whenever you next get the chance, look into buying some bee-friendly flowers or have a look at natural beekeeping like we have done in our school allotment!
