It might be winter but let’s not forget about our Bumblebees – their bright stripes and gentle buzz bring colour and sound to our summer gardens. They are also very important because they pollinate our wildflowers and crops. Sadly things aren’t going well and some species are threatened with extinction, they urgently need our help. If you’d like to know more then visit http://bumblebeeconservation.org/ or for the inner ‘apiarist’ in you head to http://www.friendsofthebees.org/ who are an international network of beekeepers, scientists, gardeners and people who are just interested in bees. Buzzzilliant!
