Bees ...

I’ve been doing a lot of ‘Bee Talks’ recently - and am often asked afterwards where people can find further information. There is so much information on the internet that it can be very time consuming and confusing to sift through and find what you want, so I’ve put together a list of links to some of the best sites.

There are many more excellent sites that I haven’t mentioned, but most of them are included in the links pages on the sites below. Many of the sites below also have book lists and excellent downloadable resource packs.

N.B…...apart from the link to ‘Biobees’ these links are all about Bumblebees, Solitary bees and Wildlife Gardening.
