Q&A for How to Help Save Honey Bees

You can make sugar water by dissolving organic sugar in hot water. You can also add supplements to the water for more nutrients. For example, you can add some bee pollen in there to give them more protein to keep them robust during the winter.

Use lemongrass oil. Put a few drops in the area you'd like them to visit! Don't try and handle the bees without gloves, and if you do, be very gentle.

Bees like flowers like sweet clover, thistles, alfalfa, sunflowers, and dandelions.

Yes. Fruit trees contain flowers, thus the bees will fertilize the flowers and are therefore good for the fruit trees.

Bees will die if you keep them in your house. They belong with other bees in a hive, which is a bee-house. You can get hives and keep bees if there are enough flowers nearby for them to gather pollen and nectar. They carry pollen in little bags on their back legs, and store it in their hive. They use pollen and nectar to feed baby bees and to make honey for bees to eat.

Lots of bees are dying because of bad treatment by beekeepers who want money. They're not in the news because some people don't think they're useful enough. Bees are important to many facets of our lives and food!

Yes, it is always better to help then not help at all.

If you want to help them (not keep them), see if they build a nest anywhere, look at where they go, where they get their food, etc. If they are building nests, lay out some honey and watch them get used to it. Put it out every day (maybe a teaspoon) and see where they build the nest. If it's near your house, you will get a lot of dead bees; if not, just leave them be.

You can discourage the use of pesticides and weed killers and encourage people to grow flowers that attract bees. A great thing to do is to have your own hive if you want to help directly. Share your thoughts about needing to save bees across social media, including what you're doing at home and in your community.

Planting flowers in the surrounding area would be great! Just don't plant too close to the hive, as you may irritate the bees and get stung.

Theoretically, if every single bee were to die scientists give the world a couple of months until the world food production system crashed. There are other pollinators but bees are the main ones.

If you have a balcony or window sill you can purchase hanging bee houses! This will help save them and even more so if you plant some flowers. However, and this is important, don't do this if you know your balcony neighbors have bee allergies as you'll only end up being told off and asked to remove it. Find out before setting up a bee home.

This would be very detrimental to the world. Without bees, wasps, and other insects that do the pollinating, we won't have very many (if any) vegetables, fruits, flowers, and plants. Pollination is essential for our life here on Earth! We also wouldn't enjoy honey without bees pollinating.
