Discover more about Bees, Butterflies & Ladybirds!
Nature is full of fascinating little creatures! Discover some fun facts about bees, butterflies and ladybirds and learn more about the wonderful pollinators and insects that inspire Urbee...
Bees are important pollinators!
They pollinate flowering trees, herbs, fruit, vegetable and garden plants. Some of these plants then produce delicious food that we can eat. Other plants produce seeds so a new plant can grow.
Apples, strawberries and blackberries are all fruits that grow because bees and other insects have pollinated the flowers!
Fun facts... There are over 270 species of bee in the UK!
Only 1 of those is a honeybee, 24 are bumblebees and the rest are solitary bees.
Butterflies are effective pollinators!
They pollinate flowering herbs, vegetable and garden plants as they travel from flower to flower, in search of nectar.
Thyme, mint and basil are all herbs that grow because butterflies and other insects have pollinated the flowers!
Fun facts... There are around 59 species of butterfly in the UK!
Most are resident here but we also have a few butterfly visitors from abroad which breed here when our weather is warmer.
Ladybirds are beneficial insects!
They pollinate flowering plants, vegetables and herbs by walking on the plants in search of food. Pollen sticks to them and is transferred around the flowers. They feed on insects like aphids, which damage plants, so they are also very helpful in the garden.
Peas, tomatoes and beans are all vegetables that grow because ladybirds and other insects have pollinated the flowers!
Fun facts... There are around 46 species of ladybird in the UK!
Ladybirds have bright colours, which act as an important defence mechanism -
warning other animals not to eat them!
More for kids... Our little enamel bee keyring's are perfect for school bags, with a ring, clip and a chain they are very versatile! Choice of gold or silver coloured plating.
