If you’re looking for something fun and educational to do with the kids this summer holidays, building a bee B&B or planting some pollination encouraging flowers is a relatively low-cost and fun activity to do and the teachers will definitely be impressed come September!
So, lets get into it… you have a lot of bee puns coming your way.
There are a few ways in which you can create a bee friendly habitat, pick whichever one best suits your outdoor space!
You will need:
Method:
Please ensure children have adult supervision at all times when creating your bee hive, sharp tools can be extremely dangerous.
If you’re not feeling crafty, you can purchase Beehabitat bricks through our branches. Whilst these bricks are intended to be part of a larger construction, there’s no reason why you couldn’t purchase a few and stack them up in your garden somewhere. The perfect bee-pad without any of the hard work!
Opting for vegan products when working on your home or garden can really make a difference in more ways than one. Brands such as Osmo use all natural ingredients in their Polyx-Oil’s, this means less environmental harm without skimping on the quality of their products!
If you want to give your new flower friends the best start to life, be sure to plant them into a rich soil filled with all the right nutrients.
Happy soil = happy flowers = happy bees!
