Story

Hi all!

Most of you that know me will know that over the last year or so, I have developed a fondness of bees, and have read a lot about them, and the incredibly important role they play in our lives.

Therefore I have decided to do a bit of fundraising over the winter for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.

I will be crocheting bees and other small plushies for everyone, and I will be asking them to donate to this page in exchange for them.

The Trust has some amazing projects to help bees, including my personal favourite one, the reintroduction of the short haired bumblebee, which was declared instinct in the UK in 2000. To find out more about this project, and the other great work they are currently doing, check out the following link:

As a last thought to people that may not share my love of bees "Has a bee ever landed on you, and instead of getting scared, you appreciate the possibility that you got confusred for a flower."- unknown. 

About the campaign

Pollinators, and in particular our wild bees, play a vital role in our lives. Our bumblebees have consistently provided us with a free service: pollination. We need to pay them back by making more space for them in our world.

About the charity

Bumblebees are in decline because of a loss of their habitats. Our landscape is changing, over 97% of the UK's grasslands have been lost in the past 70 years. We work to put much needed flowers back into the countryside to benefit our bumblebees and other wildlife.
