There has been an advert on the TV recently about Saving the Bees. I am looking into ways in which I can do my bit to help. As it happens I have already done something to Save the Bees by planting flowers on my allotment, such as Lavender and Poppies. The fact I refuse to use bee-harming pesticides also has helped them. I would like to do more such as making a bee hotel! Here is a photo showing you some of the flowers I have on the plot:

There is a garden that backs onto the allotment site that has three bee hives, I get to see the honeybees when I walk past. It's fascinating to watch them busying themselves! There are large Lavender plants at the entrance to the site that were covered in all types of bees in July.

If you would like information about Saving our bees go to www.saveourbees.org.uk , I found them very helpful.

Natalie's Allotment Tips

#1                     

Do little and often, consistency pays off.

 
#2

Talk to your neighbours. They will be able to tell you what grows well on your particular site and give you useful advice.

 

#3

Always net over green leafy vegetables as birds love to nibble them, theres nothing more disheartening than finding your brocolli seedlings have been eaten down to stalks!
