Help fight the decline in the bee population with a range of habitats and homes from ecotopia.co.uk
While Albert Einstein did not say "if the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left” there is a lot of truth in this comment. Here are Ecotopia we are seriously worried are the decline in the bee population and encouraging people this Christmas to consider that a bee is not just for summer, they are needed for life - Life of the ecosystem.
We are in serious trouble without our friends. Not only are they the only insects that produce food for humans in the form of honey, they pollinate more than 100 crops as well as 90 percent of all flowering plants. We couldn’t begin to duplicate the work accomplished by bees - every bee makes 10 or more flights per day and each flight lasts more than one hour, visiting between 50 to 100 flowers.
So what can we do to help the bee population survive the current climate? It isn't difficult to make your yard, garden or even patio space a haven for beneficial bees. You'll be helping these important insects, as well as bringing more nature to your backdoor.
We are now doing some great deals on bee habitats to encourage customers to support these beautiful creatures. Try our wooden Bumblebee Nester at £19.99 or the ceramic nester at £16.59. These nesters are ideal to attract bees to your garden. Check out our other bee homes like the solitary beehive at £19.53, the insect theatre at £29.31 or pollinating bee log at £14.67.
And don’t forget we have a whole host of Burt’s Bees’ Product for Bee lovers!

In all this debate about CCD, Colony Collapse Disorder, I hear nothing about the possible effect of circadian disruption caused by the permanent twilight caused by light at night, LAN. Do bees having NO circadian rhythm controlling their life? And if they do are they affected? Has anyone researched the subject? The 24 hour day is already seriously affecting both flora and fauna. And that includes us - humans.
