World Bee Day is celebrated each year to raise global awareness of the importance of pollinators. Today, bees and other pollinators and insects are declining in abundance, but the good news is that with a few simple choices, every garden, balcony and shared green space can become a haven for them. 🐝

At Wild Oxfordshire, we are working to create a county where pollinators can thrive.

Our ‘Bee Healthy’ gardens are an inspiring example of how small, urban, green spaces can contribute to expanding the availability of food for pollinators. Together with the Trust for Oxfordshire's Environment and the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare, we have created 'bee-friendly' flower borders for pollinators, that both the public and health-care staff can benefit from.

And across our website, you’ll find practical resources that work for you, from bee‑friendly planting to creating a bumblebee home, showing how everyone can support these vital species.
Just visit our guidance page on Pollinators!

With a few small changes to how we manage our public and private green spaces, we can bring major benefits for the creatures that call them home, and help keep Oxfordshire buzzing. 🐝🌻
