Gardens no matter what size can bee a lifeline for bumblebees You can contribute to our efforts to save the sound of summer by providing lots of bee friendly flowers through the year. Bee friendly flowers are ones that are rich in nectar and includes lavender, borage, cat mint, foxglove, geraniums, herbs and wildflowers.
If you find a stranded or sleepy bumblebee you can help boost her energy levels with a simple sugar-water mix. Mix equal parts of sugar and warm water then pour into a small container or lid. Place both the bee and the artificial nectar near to some flowers.
