Unlock a bee

British bees are in trouble.

Three species are already extinct. 
But we need bees.

With other pollinating insects, they're vital to:

• Many of our favourite foods
• Our economy - without bees food prices would rise
• Our gardens, parks and countryside

• Make your own bee hotel
  Building a bee hotel is a quick and effective way to help save British bees.

You won't need much more that an empty plastic bottle, a bit of bamboo (or other hollow stem) and the simple step-by-step guide.

There are around 220 species of wild bees in the UK, called 'solitary' because they make individual nest cells for their larvae. It is these solitary rather than bumble bees that will be attracted to your bee hotel. 
The equivalent of bird boxes, they provide vital nesting space, needed by bees more than ever given recent habitat loss.
Thankfully, we can save bees. And that's what The Bee Cause is all about.
