Bumblee on flower

16th – 22nd June 2025 is Pollinator Week!

Pollinator Week 2025 is a celebration and acknowledgement of the vital role that pollinators play in our ecosystems, economies, gardens and farms. These essential and special creatures (including bees, butterflies, moths, bats, beetles and hummingbirds) are the hard-working heroes behind the food we enjoy and the natural beauty of the environment that surrounds us.

By doing simple things like planting for pollinators and providing homes for them in our gardens, we can help to create a world where both nature and people thrive in harmony. It's very easy to do, and we have just made it a little easier by discounting our Nooks & Crannies range of insect houses by 10% AND for every purchase, we will include a FREE pack of Best for Bees wildflower seeds (RRP £6.25).

Plants that attract bees

 

The humble bumblebee is one of the most important pollinators in the world, playing a vital part in the global ecosystem in terms of food - including fruits and vegetables - as well as other useful crops, like cotton and flax.

The pollinatory power of bees also has a profound influence on both the meat and dairy industries, as they also help pollinate clover and alfalfa - two primary food sources for cattle.
