This week it was World Bee Day, raising awareness of the importance of bees and beekeeping. Bees are brilliant at pollinating, helping plants grow, breed and produce food and they are central to the cycle of life. To help support bees you can plant bee-friendly plants in your garden like lavender and catmint or buy local honey. These bees have created their own impromptu hive along the Wildlife Walk here at Barleylands.
