This requires them, for example, to provide food for bees and pollinators on their farms. M&S already asks all UK growers to be LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) Marque certified. Read about some of our brilliant growers and what they are doing to protect pollinators.
We’ve shared some ideas from the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, which is leading a campaign called ‘Bee the Change’, highlighting the vital importance of these wild pollinators and the ways in which we can help them.įarmers play an important role in protecting pollinators. Fortunately, there are lots of quick, simple and fun things you can do to make your local area more bumblebee-friendly. However, our native bumblebees are struggling because they do not have enough flowers to feed on. Wild bees, such as bumblebees and solitary bees, work hard pollinating our crops and wildflowers for free, so more wildflowers can grow, and we can enjoy delicious foods like tomatoes and blueberries. David says, "You can also usually tell them apart because bumblebees are big, round and furry, but honeybees are smaller, slimmer and much less hairy." Honeybees and bumblebees may seem like the same thing, yet honeybees are in fact domesticated in the UK and usually managed by an expert beekeeper, such as David Wainwright.
