Bee informed

There are over 20000 species of bees, the most common of which is the european honey bee! Bees are found on every continent except antarctica, in every habitat on the planet which contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.
Recently, managed populations of european honey bees have suffered substantial declines. We think this is in part caused by global warming, affecting the seasons and the time at which flowers bloom. Please help our research by posting your comments.
Even better - help your bees by visiting our shop and buying nests or seeds to improve their habitat!!! Half our profits go directly to Shropshire Wildlife Trust to help wildlife throughout Shropshire.

Here's a neat video of the bee life cycle (honey bee, not the solitary bees, but very similar...)
