You may or may not know that in the past couple of years, around the world but particularly in the USA and Europe, honey bees have been suffering from massive loss in numbers. This is not just about honey, it is a serious problem that could easily affect everyone if not addressed. The bees' work as natural pollinators is still very vital for a lot of the food we all rely on, as well as maintaining the wider diversity of plants on the planet.
While there are some people taking good steps to help where they can in simple things like keeping a variety of flowers in their garden for bees to visit, and more people are starting to keep hives in urban areas, more still needs to be done.
In the UK, an 8 year old is doing their part to try and get British politicians to treat the issue more seriously.
They have set up their own blog, Honey Bee Hero, to gain support to show to their MP (Member of Parliament).
