'Bee decline' is well covered in the media. However, there is insufficient information about the causes for this decline, the fact that it is not just honeybees that are being affected, and - most importantly - the solutions.
Pollination - the relationship between pollinators and flowers.
Bumblebees - life cycle, behaviour, how to identify different species, buzz pollination, cuckoo bumblebees, diseases and predators.
Solitary bees - behaviour, life cycles, role as pollinators, identification keys, how to attract them to your garden
Honeybees - behaviour, role as pollinators, lifecycle, history, native dark bee, pests, predators, reasons for their decline and touching on 'sustainable' beekeeping.
Bee decline - habitat loss, pesticides (neonicotinoids), pests & diseases and climate change
Gardening for bees - what to plant and how to make your garden more wildlife friendly
This one-day Bee Aware workshops cover these issues and much more besides.....in an in-depth, accessible and extremely enjoyable way!
