Don't Step on a Bee Day beauty!

Today is National Don’t Step on a Bee Day. Who does that anyway? Shame on you! I love bees, and we should all embrace these colourful buzzy creatures.

The recent press surrounding the ‘Bee Crisis’ has been hard to ignore. Bees are essential to life. Did you know that without the tireless work of our little buzzy friends, over a third of everything we eat would disappear from our tables?

And, bees provide all sorts of great things for beauty products. British skincare brand Bee Good use their  honey, propolis and beeswax in their lovely range of products.

From lip balm, to cleansers, hand creams and moisturisers, the Bee Good beauty range is lovely, and is all paraben, synthetic colour, mineral oil and silicone free.

So, what can you do today to help the bees – well, you can share the message on social media @BeeGood_UK with #DontStepOnABeeDay hashtag on Twitter.

And here are five Bee Care tips if you want to really help the bees!

1.       Don’t step on a bee! (Of course)

2.       Support your local bee keeper! The majority of our honey here in the UK is imported, but with the wealth of bee keepers on our doorstep there is really no need. Support your local bee keeper by visiting a near-by farm shop or deli and enjoy their precious produce for breakfast on some warm buttered toast – yum!

3.       Plant your Bee Good labels! The little tags that accompany Bee Good products are impregnated with special wildflower seeds that bees simply can’t get enough of! Just soak the label for an hour and plant under an inch of soil and watch your wild meadow grow!

4.       Download the Great British Bee Count app. This wonderful app created by Friends of the Earth allows you to log the bees you spot out and about. This builds a picture of bee health and activity in the UK to secure a thriving future for our buzzing bees! You can find out more about the app here.

5.       Build a bee hotel! Did you know that bees need somewhere to rest when they venture out on their pollen mission? Get your kids involved and get building! You can find a step-by-step guide here.

You can find out more about Bee Good and all of the great work they do by visiting their website, and you can buy their products on there too.
