Care for your environment and avoid harming it

Plant a variety of nectar-bearing plants and native species that bloom from spring to autumn to provide food for pollinators

Provide a welcoming environment for solitary bees and other pollinators with a feeder hut/shelter

Mow your lawn less often and when bees are not present (i.e. early morning or late afternoon)

Seek out your local beekeepers and support them by buying bee products

Educate your community about the importance of bees and encourage pollinator-friendly campaigns and events
