- Your Guide To Creating A Bee Friendly Environment is a guide to show you what you can do to save our dwindling bee population. Over 70% of our food crops are pollinated by bees; a species that is dying out at a frightening rate. Scientists have expressed their concern that if something is not done soon to stop these pollinating insects disappearing, we will face serious, irreparable problems with the world's food supply. Bees are an amazing species of insect; there are over 25, 000 different types of bee on the planet, with around 250 in the United Kingdom. Honey bees are probably the most important species of bee as it is estimated that 80% of the food eaten has been pollinated by a honey bee! These 'busy bees' work tirelessly to pollinate our food yet they are losing their habitat & their natural environment.

Plant in acid (Ericaceous) soil. How to Grow Plant in well-drained, acidic soil in a sunny, sheltered spot. If your garden soil has a p H over 5.5, your blueberry is best grown in a pot, in ericaceous soil. Keep it well-watered
- don’t allow the soil to dry out. Water blueberries with rainwater if you can as tap water will gradually raise p H levels. Feed every month with a liquid fertiliser for ericaceous (lime-hating) plants. If growing blueberries in the garden, add plenty of organic matter such as pine needles or composted conifer clippings. Avoid farmyard manure as it will scorch the roots. Pruning is rarely needed in the first two years. After that prune in late Feb – early Mar, aiming to remove a proportion of old wood every year. Two-year-old wood is the most productive. Take out any damaged, dead, & diseased wood & prune out low branches that will lie on the ground when full of fruit. Contents 6 x plants
