A Buzz in the Garden - Growing Spices Bees will Love: Wildlife talk with Richard Rickitt

Our pollinators are in peril; bumblebees, solitary bees and honey bees are all under threat from the modern-day onslaught of pesticides, habitat loss and intensive agriculture. Yet between them, the almost 300-species of UK bee, along with other pollinators, are responsible for more than a third of everything we eat.
This fascinating and richly illustrated talk will introduce many of the bee species found in the UK and explain how you can help to save them by creating a pollinator oasis in your garden - or window box, if that's all you have.
Richard Rickitt is one of the UK's best-known beekeepers and co-editor of BeeCraft magazine
