A single teaspoon of honey is a masterpiece of teamwork—created through the lifetime effort of about 12 bees, nearly 30,000 flower visits, and around 800 miles of flight. Every drop is a reminder to protect the tiny pollinators that make our world bloom. 🐝🍯🌼

🐝 Bumblebees aren't looking for trouble—they're looking for flowers. 🌼
These gentle pollinators usually avoid stinging and will often give a warning before defending themselves. Respect their space, let them forage in peace, and they'll help keep our gardens and wildflowers thriving. 💛🌿

Heatwaves are becoming more frequent in the UK – and even our common bumblebees are feeling the heat ☀️🐝

New BeeWalk data shows that extreme temperatures can cause bumblebee colonies to decline and populations to shrink the following spring.

Warm weather is great for bumblebees, but not too warm. Once temperatures reach about 32°C, bumblebees can’t fly without overheating. This means they can’t collect food for themselves or their nests.

With more intense heatwaves on the horizon, some of our most cherished species could be pushed to the brink.
