There’s a good chance you must’ve heard “Save The Bees” in an expletive manner multiple
times over by now. The thing is, it’s really not an expletive. The bees are dying and we need
to move faster and better in order to save them. We need to adopt environmentally
conservative practices that will extend into the future of bees and ultimately, the future of
humanity. One can’t survive without the other as the bees are responsible for over 30% of all
the crops!
● Plant Bee Friendly Flowers in your Garden
Plant lots of forage and homogenous flowers in your garden. The bees will
appreciate it! Weeds are good too. Native plants are the way to go because the bees
in your area are used to them.
● Do Not Use Chemicals In Your Garden
Pesticides, fertilizers, and neonicotinoids are major bee killers! They cause paralysis
among the bees and even an instant death. Instead, you should use natural compost.
You can also get ladybugs or praying mantises to keep those parasites away.
● Bees Love Drinking Water
Bees are often thirsty as heck. It’s one of the simplest things you can do, leave a
bowl of water out near those flowers. Put some corks or stones for them to land on.
The bees will really appreciate it!
● Buy Honey From Local, Organic Producers
Large corporations don’t even care about human beings so why would they care
about treating the bees in a humane manner. They often use pesticides and
insecticides during the process. Support your local farmers and your local bees and
buy nice, organic, ethical locally sourced honey.
● Build a Bee Hotel in your Garden
One of the biggest reasons for the dying bee populations is a lack of habitat and
shelter. A lot of people are building what is called “Bee Hotels” in their backyard.
They’re available online for $20-$30 bucks. It can even be as simple as a coffee can
stuffed with weeds.
● Get Informed About the Bees
One of the best things you can do is read up about how bees are not dangerous
creatures who bite human beings unprovoked! All they want is to suck the nectar of
your flowers and weeds so humanity can go on!
We all need to come together and do things for the betterment of our civilizations.
These 6 things are not only doable, they are economical. Everyone can do them.
Let’s all come together and do our part in saving these little, magical creatures.
