Sometimes, we all need a little inspiration.
That's why we have gathered some of our favourite quotes from wildlife experts to encourage you with your influential part in saving our bees!
Read on to explore our favourite picks for this month's blog…
1) The Humble Honey Bee
Of course, we had to start with a bee quote:
"Anyone who thinks they're too small to make a difference has never met the honey bee."
- Anon
Without bees, humans couldn't survive. According to WWF, out of 3 mouthfuls of food we eat, 1 relies on our bees' busy work. Honey bees also make up most of our honey supplies compared to other bee types.
2) The Effect of Climate Change
"We are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change and the last generation that can do something about it."
- Barack Obama
Did you know climate change is one of the significant factors disrupting our bees and their life cycles? As the weather gets warmer than in previous years, our bees are coming out of hibernation too early.
3) Little Actions have the Biggest Impact
"It's only one straw,' said 8 billion people."
- Anon
If we all chose more sustainable swaps and looked out for our bees, the world would be far healthier, with enough resources for everyone.
4) You Can Make a Difference
"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."
- Jane Goodall
Whether you do our 'no May Mow' challenge or something else to help, you decide to be a buzzing part of something greater!
5) Finding Purpose in the Natural
"An understanding of the natural world and what's in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfilment."
- Sir David Attenborough
It's not only about what we can do to save the nature around us – being in nature unlocks a childlike curiosity in anyone and is proven to reduce our stress levels and leave us fulfilled.
6) It's Down to Us
"The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it."
- Robert Swan
Caring for our environment is caring for our health and happiness; we are all responsible for it.
7) Learning About How We Can Save the Bees
"No one will protect what they don't care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced."
- Sir David Attenborough
We started Beevive to help you know how you can make a difference in saving our bees. We are grateful to have such a loyal community who values their experiences with bees in their gardens and cities. Building awareness through our blogs, social media, and products leads to this action.
8) Let's Do It Together
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
- African Proverb
Because of our fantastic Beevive team and you, as our bee-saving friends on the frontline, we can have a drastic, positive change on our natural environment.
