Use no pesticides or herbicides in your garden. For ‘bee friendly’ pest management try companion planting.

‘Ask before you buy’ if plants have been treated with pesticides toxic to bees.

Buy local honey

Create ‘Bee Friendly’ Garden signs for your front garden to advertise what a ‘Bee Friendly’ garden is.

Put stones in bird baths to stop bees drowning

Buy organically and biodynamic produce which has been locally and sustainably grown.
