It really is wonderful working on initiatives like this to engage and educate the public and younger generations about how important our pollinators really are! 🐝

In 2021 we worked with @BuckleysBees to install two bee hives at Kings Moat Garden Village in #Chester. The bees have been happily living amongst residents ever since, and the weekly beekeeper visits are a highlight for many who live there 🐝 #WorldBeeDay https://t.co/JzOjrI3b5M
It’s World Bee Day! This is one of the most important days of the year as it gives us chance to raise awareness and educate our followers, supporters and hopefully new friends as to why bees are so important!

It’s World Wildlife Day! 🐝 Did you know 80% of swarms don’t survive in the wild due to loss of habitat, food, climate change and pests and diseases. So it’s so important to contact a beekeeper if you see a swarm of honey bees!

In January the days begin to get longer and the Queen begins to lay eggs. You need to ensure there is enough food. Feed fondant if necessary. Check the entrance is clear of hive debris. Make sure the hive is dry and the roof is sound. #beediary#January
Did you know bees detect taste with their front feet as well as their tongues and jaws? They have over 300 taste sensors on the tips of their antennae. #cleverbees#beefacts#buckleysbees
Happy New Year!
Buckley's Bees are father and daughter David and Emma Buckley who have more than 65 years of beekeeping experience between them. They are on a mission to raise awareness of the importance of the native bee population and to sustainably reverse their decline.
The automotive enterprise cooperated with @BuckleysBees in 2019 as part of its carbon neutrality strategy for the premises in Crewe, Cheshire, with 2022 bringing more honey than ever before!

We can all do our bit to help pollinators whether that's in our gardens, balconies or windowsills. Planting a range of flowers to that they have access to nectar throughout the season is important. 🐝#pollinators#flowers#nectar#planting
