Bee Kind Project

Encouraging Bees into your Garden

Care & Repair invites you to participate in our ‘Bee Kind’ project.
You can come involved by adopting any of the methods listed below, to encourage bees in your garden.
Alternatively, subject to availability, care & repair can supply planted flower boxes. Free of Charge.
  • Bee friendly flowers- Dandelions, Daisies, etc. ( bees are especially drawn to blue, white, yellow and purple flowers)
  • Mowing Less from April until September is one of the best ways you can help pollinators. if you remove the grass clippings when you do mow, this slowly reduces the fertility of the soil, allowing native wildflowers to grow naturally.
  • Bee Boxes – Drinking water or sugar syrup ( one-to- one mixture of sugar and water provides the energy your bees need)
