Bees are one of the world’s most marvellous creatures - velvet beauties, powdered with pollen. They hum and dip through the air, darting from flower to flower and poking their heads into petals to find nectar and pollen. The bees then help the flowers by spreading this pollen. This is called pollination.

Many plants, including fruits and vegetables, would not be able to fertilise without bees and other pollinators: in fact, one-third of the food we eat depends on pollination.

The Soil Association and Pukka launched the #BeeOrganic campaign in 2018 to celebrate bees - and to share some of the ways we can all help pollinators thrive.
