We\u2019re super excited to share our brand-new give-back-to-nature weekend offer \u2013 \u2018One Tee One Bee\u2019. For every order placed on our store during this time a donation will go towards The Bumblebee Conservation Trust's work securing bee friendly habitats, with the funds going to seed at least 1 metre squared of wildflower habitat. Roughly the area needed to support one bee. The donation will go directly to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust who will organise and sow the wildflowers you\u2019ve helped to plant through your purchase. <\/p>
Bumblebee populations have declined dramatically in the last 80 years, with two native species becoming extinct. Out of the remaining 24 bumblebee species, eight are now at risk. The impact of this new initiative \u2018One Tee One Bee\u2019 will help create habitat which has been lost in the UK due to a number of factors including intensification of agriculture, increased use of pesticides, climate change, and pests and disease in wild pollinators.<\/p>
Supporting bumblebee populations also supports biodiversity. Many species of wildflowers would not produce any seeds without the bees' help. These plants are often the basis of complex food chains. This means that supporting bees supports other wild animals who will benefit from the food and shelter offered by the plants they pollinate.<\/p>
We\u2019re delighted to be supporting the Bumblebee Conservation Trust with this initiative and our tiny humble-bumble-bee-friends and the ecosystems they underpin.<\/p>","urlTitle":"one","url":"\/blog\/one\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/one\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/squigglystudio.com\/blog\/one\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1621500115,"updatedAt":1621500286,"publishedAt":1621500286,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":74350,"name":"Squiggly Studio"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/v54mfdasdsep5cwnzfgzganinsw9xddkh6avw9piwixqawnr.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/v54mfdasdsep5cwnzfgzganinsw9xddkh6avw9piwixqawnr.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/v54mfdasdsep5cwnzfgzganinsw9xddkh6avw9piwixqawnr.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":22861,"title":"This Christmas season we\u2019re fundraising for Crisis charity","url":"\/blog\/this-christmas-season-were-fundraising-for-crisis-charity\/","urlTitle":"this-christmas-season-were-fundraising-for-crisis-charity","division":74350,"description":"I feel incredibly fortunate to have a place called home, with a roof over my head to keep warm and dry.
