The Bumblebee Conservation Trust has a nice section on their website about gardening for bumblebees, and CAT have Ten Things to do to Help Honeybees or you could Adopt a Hive. For more details on solitary bees check out InsectPix.

American gardeners can have a look at The Pollinator Partnership and Aussie Bee has information about the bee species native to Australia.

For instructions on how to make bee nests, try Buglife and Gardens for Wildlife and I included the links to information on Warré hives in the second edition of my blogging for bees carnival. There’s bee-related information all over my website, so have a look to see what’s new.

The Alternative Kitchen Garden Seed Appeal aims to raise enough money for the Kew Millennium Seed Bank to conserve an entire plant species and the wildlife it supports.
