World Bee Day, on May 20, focuses on the vital role honeybees and other pollinators play in providing for humanity. Simply, if we wipe out the bees we lose more than 75 per cent of our food. Everyone needs to save the bees. If you want to keep them in your garden, you need to ensure you comply with the law by registering and managing your hives accordingly, and that you educate yourself about honeybee pests and diseases. All of us can contribute to the goal of having a healthy pollinator population through restricting the use of bee-harming chemicals around your home and garden. If you do not think keeping bees is for you, then plant flowers and trees for bees to feed on.
