When you see bees like this, don't be afraid. Don't call firefighters or civil protection, don't move them, don't poison, don't kill!
It is bees traveling. They won't hurt you. They only stop for 24 hours. Don't disturb them and avoid getting close.
🌿If you want to help them, put a flat plate or a flat container with a light layer of sugar water. Watch them feed, grab energy, and go their way.
We all must protect the traveling swarms. Bees are our survival insurance.
🌿If bees die, we die later. Without bees, no human being will remain on the face of the Earth.
Please be careful and don't kill bees! 🐝🐝🐝

When friends get involved. So cool when we can spread the knowledge of Beekeeping to more people, especially the younger generation.

The perfect lawn craze has actually helped to kill off bees. Don’t like weeds? That’s ok! Plant flowers or flowering shrubs!

If you see a bee of any description on the floor or not flying other than on a flowering plant, it is STARVING! You can help.
We are currently well into the 'June Gap' - the time between when the Spring flowering plants stop and the Autumn flowers start producing pollen and nectar.
You can help by mixing two parts sugar to one part water and offering the syrup to the bee. She (and they are mostly ladies) will happily drink from a teaspoon. You'll see her little black tongue as she drinks. It will take about 10 minutes for her to convert the syrup to energy, but she will fly away if you've helped her in time. The feeling you get on seeing her recovery and flight is well worth your time.
PLEASE NOTE - This is a temporary measure and 'First Aid' only. The Bees need diversity in their diet and need to pollinate plants in their search for food. I'm not suggesting we feed sugar to Bees as a regular thing.
NO HONEY PLEASE - Disease can be spread easily from colony to colony through this practice and you will do more damage than good. White sugar and water only please x
They can't thank you, so I will on their behalf.
Thanks a million xx 🐝🐝🐝🐝
