Bumble Bee Conservation

Bees are important to the health of our countryside. They are vital as pollinators and have a key role in the production of our food. They feed on flowers and we see them here on the flowering plants from March to October.

Join Alison and Beth from the Bumble Bee Conservation Trust to identify the bumble bees in our garden and see which flowers they are enjoying in June.  So far Alison has recorded 10 species in our garden.
