Did You Know...???
​​​​​​​
-
75% of the world’s main food crops rely on animal pollination. Bees are key pollinators, along with wasps, ants, flies, butterflies, beetles and moths
-
Climate change is having an increasing impact on bees. 24% of Europe’s bumblebee species are now threatened with extinction.
-
A bees ‘buzzing’ is the sound of their wings beating at over 130 beats per second.
-
Animal pollination is worth £690 million per year to the UK economy.
-
In the UK we have 250 bee species, 25 bumblebee.
-
If you find a motionless bumblebee, it may not be dying or sick, but simply heating up its own body. When necessary a bee temporarily detaches its wings from its wing muscles, and then uses those ‘wing’ muscles to warm itself up rather than to fly.
