In case you didn’t know, this Friday - May 20 - is World Bee Day, which celebrates the role bees play in maintaining our ecosystem and aims to raise awareness of it.
Bees play a vital part in pollinating most of the fruit and vegetables we eat, as well as many other plants. But over the years, they’ve become increasingly endangered.
According to Friends of the Earth, the UK has lost 13 species of bee since 1900, while 35 more are threatened with extinction. Almost one in ten bee species in Europe face extinction.
