Can you help the wild bees?



Wild bees support our populations of wild flowers. They have also been shown to make honey bees more effective as pollinators when they are in competition with them.

The wet summer has been disastrous for wild bees. It would help them if gardeners made some plans to help them get through the winter. To see how, please go to:

Lord of all creation, I pray that you would help humankind to value and care for your beautiful and wonderful wild creatures.
