How can I make my own Bee-Friendly Zone?

Just decide how big your BFZ will be and decide what you will do to make it Bee-Friendly.

To make it Bee-Friendly, there are two things you must do in a BFZ:

  1. Keep it free from all synthetic chemicals, especially pesticides
  2. Plant some Bee-Friendly flowers

You could also:

  • Plant Bee-Friendly trees
  • Turn a patch of wasteland into a BFZ by sowing wild flower seeds
  • Make a bumblebee nest box
  • Discover how to garden without using pesticides or weed-killers
  • Leave undisturbed, wild areas in your garden
  • Get together with friends and neighbours to make your BFZ bigger!
"Known as the 'Big 6' - Monsanto, Dow, BASF, Bayer, Syngenta and DuPont dominate the global seed, pesticide & ag biotech markets. This handful of corporations control the fate of food & farming by keeping the global food system on a toxic treadmill: pushing one product after another in pursuit of poisoned profits." Pesticide Action Network
"Removing all unnecessary pesticides from the environment is probably the single most important thing we can do to help save the bees." Phil Chandler, Barefoot Beekeeper
