I will be kicking up a fuss at my local garden centres 🐝👍
Bees need more #flowers.
Many more ‘clean’ flowers.
Buying flowers at your local garden centre, DIY store or supermarket?
You might be inadvertently harming #bees.
Plants likely pre-treated with chemicals with the potential to harm bees.
The horticultural industry knows this.

Excellent point.
So check before you buy.
Don’t buy plants if they are treated.
Demand change.
Seek out #organic and chemical-free suppliers.
Grow your own from seed.
So you want to help save bees?
And part of saving #bees means more food for bees.
Which means more flowers…

You see plants sold in #garden centres, DIY stores and supermarkets are generally speaking not what we call ‘bee clean’. Often, and even mostly, they have been pre treated…
