May is also known as No Mow May, where people are encouraged to leave their grass uncut and allow wildflowers to grow to attract and feed bess 🌼
We’ve been leaving a big square of grass uncut, rather than cutting it all, and it’s been lovely to see new flowers appearing
If you’d like to support bees, here are a few simple ways to help 🐝
• Choose plants with single, open flowers, making it easier for bees to access pollen and nectar
• Plant flowers in groups or clusters to attract more bees
• Go for bright, colourful plants, which are easier for bees to spot
• Include a mix of plants, trees and shrubs that flower at different times of year
• Aim to provide a steady source of food, especially between March and October, when bees are most active
