BBOWT offers advice for supporting wild bee populations this summer.

Kate Titford from the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) emphasizes the importance of supporting wild bees this summer. The decline of bee populations poses a threat to both the ecosystem and our food supply, as bees are crucial for pollinating many crops, contributing to one-third of our diet. Unfortunately, 97% of lowland meadows have been lost, and urban gardens, once vital for wildlife movement, are increasingly being replaced with non-plant materials.
