Give back their habitat to the bees
The first and direct cause for bee mortality is their loss of habitat. This comprises two main aspects:
- Lack of food variety
- Lack of nesting facilities
All of us can do something for the bee where food variety is concerned. Be this with so-called seed bombs in a playful guerrilla mode, on the balcony or window sill with flowering herbs or with a bigger contribution on one’s own plot of land. Here we show you the plants with the biggest positive impact on bees that there is a shortage of.
There are no more old, thick, hollowed-out trees available for the honeybee to nest in. Without nesting facilities, the bee cannot reproduce in nature. Here we show you how all of us can return a piece of habitat to the bees with passive nesting aids, so-called honeybee hotels.
If you want to provide nesting facilities to feral bees we are happy to refer you to our colleagues, the feral bee specialists.
