Bees play a vital role in our ecosystem, responsible for pollinating 90% of our food sources.

However, their population is declining rapidly, which could lead to a major disaster. As Sir David Attenborough warns, “If bees were to disappear from the face of the earth, humans would have just 4 years left to live.” In the last five years alone, bee populations have dropped by one-third.

Simple Steps to Help Bees

Attenborough suggests an easy way to support bees: mix two tablespoons of sugar with one tablespoon of water and leave it on a spoon in your backyard. This solution can revive tired bees that struggle to return to their hives. “A simple solution of sugar and water will help revive an exhausted bee,” he explains.

Planting for Pollinators

In addition to providing sugar water, planting flowers or letting wildflowers grow in your garden can greatly benefit local bees. These small efforts can make a significant difference in supporting bee populations.
