The idea of leaving a spoonful with a mixture of sugar and water in the yard is spreading through the internet and social media. It seems strange, but for her there is a very good reason that should encourage everyone to do the same.
Bees are extremely important creatures for the survival of our planet, but the sad and worrying fact is that these valuable insects are becoming extinct. Bees feed 90 percent of the world's population and have a huge task because they pollinate almost a third of the food we eat.
A simple mixture of sugar and water will invigorate the exhausted bee and help it return to the hive.
In the last five years, the bee population has fallen by one third. If bees became extinct, humanity would have four more years to live, notes British zoologist David Attenborough.
But the situation is not hopeless. There is one thing each of us can do, an idea that is spreading at a rapid rate these days, to help the survival of bees, humans, and planet Earth.
David Attenborough has a simple tip for everyone: mix sugar and water in a spoon and leave it in your backyard.
At this time of year, bees often look like they’re dying or like they’re already dead, but it doesn’t have to be about that at all. Bees can simply get tired and may run out of energy to return to the hive. This can result in the hive disappearing.
A simple mixture of sugar and water will invigorate the exhausted bee and help it return to the hive.
Mix two tablespoons of white sugar with one tablespoon of water and put the mixture in a tablespoon so that the bee can reach it.
You can help the survival of bees and humans in another way:
plant flowers on your balcony or let wildflowers occupy one corner of your yard.
It will be a real pleasure for the bees!
