2. Do not use any pesticides, fungicides or herbicides on plants or in your garden. Plants get contaminated and the product will likely reach the bees and kill them. Make sure the plants you buy are not pre-treated with neonics pesticides!
3. Buy local & raw honey from your local beekeepers. Avoid honey sold in bulk or in the supermarket unless you are sure of its provenance and quality. Always best to buy on farmers market so you can meet your beekeeper and check with him his sustainable beekeeping practices.
4. Plant your garden with native and bee friendly plants. They provide great sources of nectar and pollen (both food for the bees and butterflies). It’s important for bees, as it is for us, to have a diverse and regular food supply.
5. Avoid planting lawns. Lawns are literally desert for insects and for wild plants because lawns usually never have plants beneficial to bees and are cut too often so plants never get to bloom. Instead, plant prairies!
6. Do not weed your garden. Many plants like dandelion, for example, are an excellent source of food for bees. In early spring, those “weeds” are often the only source of food for beneficial insects. Lots of those weeds are often excellent food and medicine for us too!
7. Even if you just have a small balcony you can install a little water basin for the bees to drink during the warm day of summer. Put a few stones and floating cork on the water so bees won’t drown!
8. Stay connected to the Facebook page of Save The Bees Project and our Instagram account so you can stay informed and sign regular petition to pressure our state and country to pass regulations to help the bees (like the ban of neonicotinoids)
9. Educate yourself and your children about bees. Bees are not dangerous; they forage on a flower and don’t attack humans. By better understanding them we will learn to better respect them. There are 5 must-see documentaries about bees.
10. If the buzz gets to you, learn how to become a beekeeper and install a hive in your garden or on your rooftop. It’s a powerful way to give honey bees a home and probably the best local honey you will ever get!

Directly Support Save The Bees Project
Last year we created Save The Bees Project to be part of a solution to educate, spread awareness, and protect the Bees and other pollinators.
What do we do?
We are dedicated to supporting those with more knowledge, organization and resources than we have, that are actively working towards outreach and solutions to reversing declining Bee populations. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for your support.
Through the growth of our site and social media endeavors, Save The Bees Project raises awareness and funds through selling our own line of products inspired by Bees, "Bee Inspired", as well as wholesale sales to other Bee related retailers. As we grow and put the proper structures in place we'll begin to facilitate direct donations to organizations on the front lines.
Did you know that one third of all our food depends on bees and other pollinating insects? Imagine a world without pollinators, global food supply would be greatly imperiled.
Through your help, we aim to have a positive impact on our planet and the global community, through the support of individuals and organizations that focus on protecting bees and their environments.
Please support our efforts in a way that feels right to you; whether through a purchase from our store or simply by sharing our message through your Social Media, your efforts are impactful and greatly appreciated.
