Bees’ Needs Week is an annual event run by Defra, working with a range of organisations including conservation groups, businesses and charities.
The aim of the week is:
– to raise awareness of the importance of bees and other pollinators
– share ideas, actions and activities that highlight the ways in which everyone can help them thrive
We’d love as many people and organisations as possible to get involved. If you want to take part, email beesneeds@defra.gov.uk.
You can download a free promotional pack, whether you are planning an event or simply want to help spread the word.
The pack includes:
– a poster showing 5 simple actions you can take to help pollinators
– a blank event poster you can customise to promote your own Bees’ Needs Week activities
– activity sheets for children
