Let’s talk about bumblebees
Don't turn your back on the bees, they need you more than ever
In a world that’s waking up to the importance of pollinators, here at Bumblebombs, we're on an exciting Bumblemission to help these amazing little heroes thrive.
Did you know that our beloved bumblees are vanishing at an alarming rate due to habitat loss, pesticides and climate? Without bees, our ecosystems and food supply are in jeopardy, but here’s the fantastic news—small actions can create a massive impact.
Saving bees isn’t just about planting, it's also about transforming our mindset and how treasure our natural world. Our bee-saving products are crafted to make a real difference, whether you’re helping pollinators directly or inspiring others to join the cause.
Hey July - you're hot!
Don't forget to keep pollinators hydrated!
The Bumblebombs 100 Forgotten Corners Campaign is on a mission to transform 100 forgotten spaces across the UK into beautiful, wildlife-friendly habitats that provide food, water and shelter for our precious pollinators.
By taking part, you’ll be helping to create a growing network of mini wildflower habitats that support bumblebees, solitary bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. Small actions really can make a lasting difference.
Whether you have a large garden, a tiny border, an allotment, a school, a community garden or simply a forgotten patch of ground, your corner can become part of something much bigger.
Some tasty new research!
When we try a food that we don't like, we generally give a noticeable reaction - and now a study has revealed that bumblebees do too.
Scientists at Macquarie University in Australia and Southern Medical University in China have discovered that bumblebees show a 'liking' and 'disliking' response to taste. When a bee tastes something good it reaches out its glossa (an insect tongue) as if licking its lips, and when it doesn't like something it shakes its head and wipes its mouth. This proves they have emotion-like behaviours, which until now were thought to only exist in mammals.
Just when you think they can’t get any more amazing!
