HONEYBEES: ‘NATURE'S LITTLE HELPERS’
Play a vital role in helping crops and flowers to develop by pollination, act as a monitor for the environment and, of course, produce honey which has both health giving and healing properties. Without bees for pollination it has been estimated that mankind would die out within 5 years!
Now, more than ever, the bees need our help to survive. Just remember, we cannot live without them!
We really do need them MORE than they need us!
