Mad about the BEES Jo Arnell explains why, in a world full of pesticides, making your garden a destination for bees provides them with the ecological haven they’re crying out for Insects are in crisis at the moment, their numbers declining at a frightening rate, so anything we can do to attract them into our gardens will be of benefit. In fact, our gardens are proving to be bastions of hope and protection in an inhospitable environment. The attention is on bees, because they are such vital pollinators for crops and without them our own existence would be under threat too. Our gardens are fast becoming a vital resource for them, providing food and shelter and hopefully safety from pesticides. The sight and sound of bees buzzing brings a garden truly to life and reminds us that a flower’s job is to attract pollinators, that their beauty has a profound purpose, intricately linked to the existence of the insects. Honey bees, bumble bees and stingless bees are in the Apidae family. There is just one honey bee, but there are 24 different species of bumble bee; some are social and live in colonies, some are solitary, some are tiny, some huge and furry – and easy to spot as they noisily bumble around the flower borders. Added to these are the leaf cutters, mason, mining and carder bees – and more besides. All bees do a vital job transferring pollen from one flower to another as they go about collecting nectar and pollen for their own purposes. With a little thought, and a little less tidiness, your garden can easily be made more insect friendly. They just need places to build nests, shelter for overwintering and a reliable source of food and water. Food comes in the form of nectar and pollen and a plentiful supply all year round is really beneficial. Most flowers die back in the winter, but there are quite a few trees and shrubs that will produce winter flowers. Water Bees and other beneficial insects need to be able to access water, preferably fairly shallow, so that they won’t drown. Bees use water to drink, but also to cool the hive when the weather gets really hot. If you don’t have a pond, then a shallow dish of water, containing pebbles or stones for climbing onto, will provide them with a place to drink and collect water for the hive. Shelter Bees live in different kinds of habitats, depending on the species, but all pollinating insects need overwintering places where they can hibernate as adults or pupae. You can easily help them by leaving log piles, leaves and hollow perennial stems and seed heads for them to hide in. You could also build a bee hotel; make your guests feel at home using cut off sections of bamboo cane, pinecones and bundles of sticks inserted into a frame and positioned out of the prevailing wind and weather. Providing nectar all year round Most pollinating insects and bees will disappear when the weather starts to get cold, but on warmer winter days they occasionally wake up, or wake from hibernation much earlier. This is happening increasingly as a result of climate change, especially in the warmer south of England where some species have stopped hibernating altogether. It is vital to provide the winter insects 99 surrey-homes.co.uk
