Although I think I saw on TV that we wouldn't actually die out without them. Am not keen to take the chance, though.Vanilla Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946634138308342764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-83689282447035897632010-06-23T11:12:33.958+01:002010-06-23T11:12:33.958+01:00What they don't tell you is that a lot of the ...What they don't tell you is that a lot of the bees that are disappearing are the bees 'employed' by companies to make honey for sale. They're transported across the country throughout the year and are expected to continually churn out honey from each location. It's contradictory to the bees nature and probably isn't helping the situation! Support local honey producers who are more likely to keep bees in a more natural way. And, of course, plant as many flowers as you can! Honey isn't just tasty, it's a natural antiseptic and a natural spermicide (betcha didn't know that, huh?). It can help reduce hayfever if a local honey is eaten and is an excellent substitute for sugar as I'm sure everyone knows. I think we shouldn't just be campaigning for more flowers but also perhaps better treatment of worker bees in large honey corporations (and I can't believe I just typed that either!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02730092231227512200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-54070495498960599582010-06-23T10:45:21.303+01:002010-06-23T10:45:21.303+01:00Hey, me and mum signed up for the save the bees ca...Hey, me and mum signed up for the save the bees campaign who sent us free seeds...cant remember the website, but its good! <br /><br />iv reblogged this here > http://thatlizkid.blogspot.com/2010/06/bee-happy.html<br /><br />love<br />xxxxxxxlizzie_fitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13346508919109638076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-47509528878109431432010-06-23T09:42:45.653+01:002010-06-23T09:42:45.653+01:00In my local museum they are looking into the fact ...In my local museum they are looking into the fact that mobile phones may be causing a problem. I try to encourage bees in my garden - the program I watched said that blue flowers attract bees, and I must admit that they do seem more attracted to the blue flowers. However I have a lot of beighbours who have paved all their gardens and just have a couple of pots - which I dont think help matters. xxxxxDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269721218424514656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-88975470877842534072010-06-23T08:05:38.303+01:002010-06-23T08:05:38.303+01:00Interesting post, Julia.

I am trying to make a garden here with some very bee-friendly flowers - I want them to visit here so will be doing everything I can to engineer that. xKittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259837826944310404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-69608903146886313092010-06-22T23:45:16.119+01:002010-06-22T23:45:16.119+01:00I think a lot of people also don't realise tha...I think a lot of people also don't realise that some species of bees live underground and when they see bees dissapearing into small holes in their lawns and borders they fill in the holes... I watched a big fluffy bumble bee the other day as it buzzed merilly all over my honeysuckle and it flew clear over my house... I was so impressed... also if a fluffly bee gets wet when you water your plants it cannot fly and will more than likely die... my mum use to collect seeds in the little film canister pots and when she went for a walk in the lanes she would sprinle the seeds in the hedgerows and verges... spread the love!<br /><br />x AlexPink Feather Paradisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362222817573569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-35143219588763012912010-06-22T21:48:55.878+01:002010-06-22T21:48:55.878+01:00good post and thought-provoking, the loss of the b...good post and thought-provoking, the loss of the bees is worrying, I have read that if the bees go, then due to the lack of the pollinators the human race will be in the whole apocolytic, disaster movie scenario within 4 years!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683100048095202350noreply@blogger.com
