Bees to see in January

Bees are one of nature's wonders. Over 250 different UK bee species pollinate plants as they collect their food and only the honeybee make delicious honey. Bees may do well in cities due to the variety of trees and flowers. They eat only pollen and nectar obtained from the plants..

Rooftop rewilding

Climate and nature are intertwined. We can’t mitigate climate change without restoring nature so it can provide some of the solutions. Planting city roofs with bee-friendly flowers, shrubs and trees that bloom sequentially year-round, and installing bee hotels and other nesting sites, is a local and tangible way to restore nature for wild bees and other pollinators, and to increase biodiversity.

More details on how we can help to rewild your rooftop here.
