  • BumbleBee numbers are plummeting dramatically

  • Several BumbleBee species are now extinct

  • BumbleBee habitats are disappearing

  • BumbleBees are being killed by pesticides

  • BumbleBees have a lack of nesting sites and flowers

BumbleBees are friendly essential pollinators of our crops and flowers – they help us so we need URGENTLY to help them

our work

We have Doctorate level experts and Researchers who support us

We undertake monitoring of BumbleBee populations

We work with communities and volunteers to set up mini-pollination sites attracting BumbleBees and providing safe accessible corridors of nesting sites and habitats for BumbleBees

We are setting up easily accessible online learning opportunities about BumbleBees (as well as Honeybees and other bees) free of charge for all to access

For decades we have dedicated ourselves to educating tens of thousands of people about BumbleBees across our amazingly diverse communities here in the United Kingdom
