The Original Bee Revival Kit - Gold Keyring containing a bee Food Syrup to Help a Tired bee.

Product Information

So, sugar solutions are a great way to save a tired bee, but only as a last resort as supported by both the RSPB and Buglife, one of the UK's leading insect charities. Think of it as a short-term hit of energy for her (like junk food or a protein shake for us!) The perfect companion or bee gift for bee-lovers looking for a sustainable and all-year-round bee saver kit. Pesticides are another killer. The easiest way to tell if a bee has been poisoned is when its tongue is hanging out. It's not a nice image, but if your attempts at bee revival aren't working, know that there is nothing you can do at this point. Sadly, bees die all the time. A honey bee colony can lose thousands of its workers each day. Summing Up Attach to your keys to save a bee in emergency during the warmer months or scattering seeds planting for the future during the others. You can imagine the BUZZ of excitement at Beevive HQ when earlier this year the Escape to the Country team got in touch to say that they would love to spotlight Beevive for their upcoming series!

If he hasn't changed his behaviour after a little while, you can revive the bee. Offer him a drop or two of sugar solution from your keyring or mix 50/50 white sugar and water yourself. Making up your own bees sugar water is fine, but our keyrings use ambrosia®, which is a ready-to-use specialist sugar water for bees and used in professional bee-keeping. Unlike white sugar, ambrosia's high sugar concentration makes it resistant to spoiling from microbiological effects and can last longer to save multiple bees. The community element is a full-circle experience for Faye. She credits Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network with her decision to apply to the UK Dream Tech competition to start with. “I reached out to the community when I first went full-time into Beevive, which was a scary transition — going from a full-time career in fashion design to following my passion for bees,” she explains. “I was looking for networks that would support me, and I met the most amazing group of like-minded women.” Seedballs are native and sourced in the UK, made from clay, peat-free compost, chilli powder and contain wildflower seeds.

The 5 Simple Steps to Revive a Bee:

The company also uses top-of-the-line technology to host meetings and brainstorm sessions: A 65-inch touchscreen monitor serves as a high-tech whiteboard. “We can get the pen off the side and start scribbling down ideas in seconds; it’s great for productivity,” says Jake. Is the bee wet? If so, you can place her in the sun to warm up. An exhausted bee, however, will appear lethargic and will probably be far away from any flowers. It is important to note that she could be only resting or actually dying. Bees don't live very long, and if she looks old or is clinging to a flower, sadly these steps won't resurrect her. 2) Stay Protected To save a tired bee, you should place him on a flower nearby. Sugar solution is not bad for bees, but it should never be used to replace nectar and pollen as these contain other nutrients and fats which are not present in the sugar water. Sometimes, a bumblebee queen secludes herself as she is fat and mated, or ready for hibernating. Don't move her unless she is in harm's way or obvious to predators. Placing her on a nectar-rich flower or under the cover of leaves works best as the Bee Conservation instructs.

When you think of bees, you think of honey. Those busy little workers creating honey for your Cheerios, but you should not give honey to a tired bee. In Australia, it is actually illegal to leave honey out for bees.The perfect gift to introduce others to the world of solitary bees via letter box, suitable for small or large outdoor spaces, to position on a wall, balcony, courtyard, beside a windowsill or community garden. We offer an additional bee-spoke service to personalize your kit by engraving a family name or small message to the front of your bee hotel ✍ Feel proud that you are taking an active part in sustaining our forests as we plant a tree to replenish the sources we used to create your keyring.
