Celebrating World Bee Day!
Help care for our bees and their health by:

• planting bee-friendly plants.
• refraining where possible from using pesticides.
• offering a habitat for them – such as an insect hotel or shallow water.

Did you know?….

• Bees have been producing honey for at least 150 million years.
• Bees use their antennae to smell. They can detect nectar 2km away.
• On one flight from the hive to collect honey, a honey bee will visit
  between 50 and 100 flowers.
• A bee must visit about four million flowers to produce 1kg of honey.
• One beehive of honey bees can produce up to 150kg of honey per
  year.
• Worker bees produce about 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in their
  lifetimes.
