The Original Bee Revival Kit - Gold Keyring containing a bee Food Syrup to Help a Tired bee.

Product Information

Like most things, prevention is better than a cure. So how do you support the bees in the first place without having to do emergency Bee-PR? At the end of the summer identify any cells that are still walled where no young bees have emerged. These need to be removed and cleaned with a pipe-cleaner, a small brush or by blowing compressed air inside. We hope this helps you spot a tired bee and remember to bee proud of your spontaneous encounter today! You can imagine the BUZZ of excitement at Beevive HQ when earlier this year the Escape to the Country team got in touch to say that they would love to spotlight Beevive for their upcoming series!

Sometimes, a bumblebee queen secludes herself as she is fat and mated, or ready for hibernating. Don't move her unless she is in harm's way or obvious to predators. Placing her on a nectar-rich flower or under the cover of leaves works best as the Bee Conservation instructs.

The 5 Simple Steps to Revive a Bee:

Made in the UK from sustainably sourced panguaneta poplar wood, this kit is designed to be posted through your letterbox and constructed at home to provide a safe space for female solitary bees to build nests and lay their eggs. The community element is a full-circle experience for Faye. She credits Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network with her decision to apply to the UK Dream Tech competition to start with. “I reached out to the community when I first went full-time into Beevive, which was a scary transition — going from a full-time career in fashion design to following my passion for bees,” she explains. “I was looking for networks that would support me, and I met the most amazing group of like-minded women.” Don't confuse tired bees with resting ones. Queen bees are notorious for being mistaken as tired/struggling bees as they spend most of their time grounded after only short flights. The company also uses top-of-the-line technology to host meetings and brainstorm sessions: A 65-inch touchscreen monitor serves as a high-tech whiteboard. “We can get the pen off the side and start scribbling down ideas in seconds; it’s great for productivity,” says Jake. Is the bee wet? If so, you can place her in the sun to warm up. An exhausted bee, however, will appear lethargic and will probably be far away from any flowers. It is important to note that she could be only resting or actually dying. Bees don't live very long, and if she looks old or is clinging to a flower, sadly these steps won't resurrect her. 2) Stay Protected

Plant bee-friendly flowers underneath your hotel to give them a nearby food source. We suggest planting a variety of flowers and plants which will provide pollen and nectar throughout the year. Is sugar water bad for bees? Many of the reasons for the conflicting information on this is due to a viral fake news post, which was wrongly attributed to David Attenborough and taken down. The post spread awareness of our bee decline, but it (incorrectly) suggested leaving a sugar solution out for them. Instead of giving one tired bee support, bees were being encouraged to these solutions in gardens and on window ledges. This is terrible for the hive because, unlike nutritious pollen and nectar, this solution will not feed the bee larvae properly and can also cultivate bacteria over time. Putting these out for bees will teach them to go there and leave the flowers unpollinated as the RSPB also warns. In the long-term, it could even end up getting an unsuspecting beekeeper prosecuted as his 'honey' turns out to be only sugar syrup. So, sugar solutions are a great way to save a tired bee, but only as a last resort as supported by both the RSPB and Buglife, one of the UK's leading insect charities. Think of it as a short-term hit of energy for her (like junk food or a protein shake for us!) Before you perform a bee rescue operation, here are the 4 types of bee you will come across: 1 ) A Tired BeeGive the gift of saving the bees with our personalisation service! Choose a colour, engraved text, gift wrap, and gift message to prepare your loved one to save a tired bee. When you think of bees, you think of honey. Those busy little workers creating honey for your Cheerios, but you should not give honey to a tired bee. In Australia, it is actually illegal to leave honey out for bees. In the rare case that he looks heavy-laden with mites, you can brush some off with a delicate paintbrush. You can see what bumblebee mites look like on the video below, thanks to our community member Daisy Tate. 4 ) The Bees That Buzz No More The perfect companion or bee gift for bee-lovers looking for a sustainable and all-year-round bee saver kit.
