Week 5: bring back the bees!

Bees are vital insects — spreading pollen that plants need to grow — and unfortunately, bee populations are rapidly declining. We read about ‘‘bee bombs’’ (wildflower seedballs) and loved that they are such a simple way to help bring back the bees. Watch below for more.

All you have to do is purchase the seeds (lots of sites to choose from but we bought ours at www.beebombsireland.com) and plant them come spring. It’s that easy! Let us know if you’re taking part in this week’s activity — share with #BringBackTheBees and #GiveBackTogether on InstagramFacebook and Twitter!
