World Bee Day 2023

Did you know there are over 250 different species of bee in the UK? 1 honey bee, 24 types of bumblebee and the rest are solitary bees which come in all shapes, colours and sizes!

Wild Marlow love all our wild bees and work hard to support them as best we can through our Bee Town Marlow project

So this Saturday please show some love for this incredibly important creature, who we rely on so heavily for 1 in every 3 mouthfuls of our food

plant pollinator friendly plants in your garden or outside space

leave out a saucer of water for them to drink

let your lawn grow and bloom to provide food and shelter

make your own solitary bee hotel or bumblebee nest

put Sat 15th July in your diary to come to the Wild Marlow Bee Festival to learn all about these amazing creatures and what we can all do to help them
