The bee has been around for about 80 million years evolving alongside flowering plants and a special relationship has developed between them. The flowers provide nectar for the bee and the bee transports pollen from one flower to another and so pollinates them. When one bee has found the nectar source she communicates its location to others in the hive using a complicated dance language unique to the honeybee.
About one third of our total diet comes directly or indirectly from bee pollinated plants such as fruit, vegetables and seed crops. Considering also the wildflowers, trees and non-food crops that are bee pollinated, it can be seen that the ecological and economic importance of the bee in our environment is immense.
So help the beekeeper keep his bees and support our environment, adopt a hive in Cornwall!
