As much as we love the bee movie memes, I think it’s time we use all this attention surrounding our little furry friends to actually stop them from becoming extinct. As Albert Einstein once said, if all bees disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man!
But, how are the bees dying I hear you ask?
Well theres multiple reasons why the buzzing insects are struggling to survive, these range from: a decline in pollen rich plants and flowers, the pesticides we use on our crops are harming the bees and there is an increase in the Varroa Destructor Mite within beehives.
So, how can you help?
Well thanks to Joe and Andy at Just Bee Honey Water, all you have to do is send off a stamped address envelope to them, and they’ll send you a pack of free wildflower seeds! Register for them here!
Not only this, but if you send them some of your terrible bee puns and/or pictures, you could be chosen for a free box of their drinks!

If you’d like to donate to a company who help save the bees by planting more pollen rich environments, you can do so here! Let’s help our struggling little friends, and in the mean time, remember if you see a swarm of bees to leave them alone! They’re just setting up camp for a while as they search for a new home, this is due to their old hive becoming overcrowded. This is a good sign, it means the bees are reproducing!
