THE LITTLE THINGS THAT RUN THE WORLD
‘SAVE THE BEES’
TO CELEBRATE SPRING KITX PADDINGTON IS GIVING AWAY BEE FRIENDLY SEED MIXES, WE ARE COMMITTED TO ACTIONING SOLUTIONS AROUND POSITIVE CHANGE.
Half a million insects are threatened with extinction. One third of the bee population is in decline globally, limiting food supplies, biodiversity and affecting ecosystem services like pollination.
Visit us this weekend at KITX as we will be gifting Bee Friendly Seed mixes so you can be a part of the cure, if you are not in Sydney ask us via DM and we can send or ask your local native nursery for plants that are indigenous to your area and plant your own Bee friendly garden.
TAKE POSITIVE ACTION STEPS TO SAVING THE BEES
//
1.
Plant a Bee Friendly Garden.
A garden with plenty of herbs and flowering plants, Bees prefer Yellow and Blue Flowers; so include plenty of these colours in your mix. Local bees will adore you if you create an insect hotel and plant native species in your backyard.
2.
Provide drinking water.
Fill a tray, pot or bird bath with water and include stones for safe landing.
3.
Go Local and Organic.
Source food from local growers who do not use chemicals.
4.
End the war on weeds.
Learn to love weeds. Bees love Dandelions, Fennel, thistles, Oxalis, clover & onion weeds.
5.
Use organic seeds.
Purchase seeds from an organic supplier to ensure they have not been cultivated or dipped in poisonous Neonicotinoids which are toxic to bees.
6.
Buy Local, Raw Honey
