Bees are essential to our survival - but new research shows that less than half of the British public recognise them as sentient beings with the ability to have physical and emotional experiences - be they positive or negative. In reality, scientific evidence shows that bees exhibit self-awareness, social learning, play behaviour and the ability to solve complex problems.
On World Bee Day (20 May) a wildlife charity is calling on all of us to play our part in keeping bees alive and buzzing.
