However, a simple search online will bring up a lot of conflicting information about how to revive a tired bee. Some people say that sugar water is the best way, while others ban this method. Feeding honey is also suggested, which can actually do more harm than good to the bees. We hope this helps you spot a tired bee and remember to bee proud of your spontaneous encounter today! At the end of the summer identify any cells that are still walled where no young bees have emerged. These need to be removed and cleaned with a pipe-cleaner, a small brush or by blowing compressed air inside.
The bee revival key ring provides an emergency solution to REVIVE an exhausted bee so it can continue its mission pollinating planet Earth. Attach to your keys to save a bee in emergency during the warmer months or scattering seeds planting for the future during the others.Like most things, prevention is better than a cure. So how do you support the bees in the first place without having to do emergency Bee-PR? This spontaneous encounter sparked an entrepreneurial journey for the couple. In July 2019, they launched Beevive, an ecommerce startup and online community for people passionate about pollinators. The initial product was a “ Bee Revival Kit,” a keyring containing a vial of bee food syrup that mimics nectar. It allows one to “feed a bee in need” when you can’t find flowers nearby. The idea was a near-instant success, and three years later, Faye and Jake have grown Beevive into a buzzing business.
Made in the UK from sustainably sourced panguaneta poplar wood, this kit is designed to be posted through your letterbox and constructed at home to provide a safe space for female solitary bees to build nests and lay their eggs. The Original Bee Revival Keyring - Inspired by a spontaneous encounter with a tired bee. This bee-saving kit can be attached to your keychain for when you are out on the go and come across an exhausted bee in need of your help! The bee revival keyring provides an emergency solution to REVIVE an exhausted bee so it can continue its mission of pollinating planet Earth. So, sugar solutions are a great way to save a tired bee, but only as a last resort as supported by both the RSPB and Buglife, one of the UK's leading insect charities. Think of it as a short-term hit of energy for her (like junk food or a protein shake for us!) Try and find a flower nearby. If it's possible, make it a high nectar and pollen one such as buddleia, sunflowers or knapweeds. This is the high-nutrient food that she has been looking for. 4) Wait Another way technology has helped Beevive thrive is by facilitating a digital community of fellow bee enthusiasts. “We are super proud of having an online community, and you need technology to do that — to create a place where everyone can encourage each other in a positive way,” says Faye. “We're able to work with different charities and organizations all via my laptop and, again, from anywhere.”
The 5 Simple Steps to Revive a Bee:
To save a tired bee, you should place him on a flower nearby. Sugar solution is not bad for bees, but it should never be used to replace nectar and pollen as these contain other nutrients and fats which are not present in the sugar water. One great thing about solitary bees is that they’re pretty pet- and child-friendly — they’re a less-aggressive type of bee because they don't have honey to defend,” explains Faye. “They really live in harmony with you and your garden, which is fantastic, because it gives children the opportunity to see and admire them.”
The perfect gift to introduce others to the world of solitary bees via letter box, suitable for small or large outdoor spaces, to position on a wall, balcony, courtyard, beside a windowsill or community garden. We offer an additional bee-spoke service to personalize your kit by engraving a family name or small message to the front of your bee hotel ✍Male bees can also be found resting late at night or early in the morning on flowers and covered in dew. You can spot these when their heads are down, have still antennae or have fallen sideways. Don't worry, they will wake up when they are warmed by the sunshine. If the bee is drenched and it's not at these peak sleeping times, a sunny spot or a few hours in your house is all that's needed. 3 ) All-Aboard the Bumblebee Bus! The perfect companion or bee gift for bee-lovers looking for a sustainable and all-year-round bee saver kit. The community element is a full-circle experience for Faye. She credits Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network with her decision to apply to the UK Dream Tech competition to start with. “I reached out to the community when I first went full-time into Beevive, which was a scary transition — going from a full-time career in fashion design to following my passion for bees,” she explains. “I was looking for networks that would support me, and I met the most amazing group of like-minded women.” Tired bees are slow-moving, lethargic and can be found in the grass, pavement or road for some time or in bad weather conditions. If he's not visibly wet, injured or cold, there's a good chance he is an exhausted bee and could do with a little help. How to Help You can imagine the BUZZ of excitement at Beevive HQ when earlier this year the Escape to the Country team got in touch to say that they would love to spotlight Beevive for their upcoming series!
Dell’s support also came in handy when it came time for Beevive to expand beyond their first product. From the initial bee revival capsule, Beevive branched out into new offerings including wildflower seedballs, which attract pollinators, and a “ bee hotel”—a structure that sits in a garden or yard and provides sanctuary for solitary bees, which Faye calls the “unsung heroes of the pollinator world.” The company also uses top-of-the-line technology to host meetings and brainstorm sessions: A 65-inch touchscreen monitor serves as a high-tech whiteboard. “We can get the pen off the side and start scribbling down ideas in seconds; it’s great for productivity,” says Jake.
Solitary bees are a joy to watch and are non-aggressive, therefore child and pet friendly. They don't live in colonies (unlike bumblebees and honey bees) and are facing a crisis having lost much of their natural habitat - they need your help! Is sugar water bad for bees? Many of the reasons for the conflicting information on this is due to a viral fake news post, which was wrongly attributed to David Attenborough and taken down. The post spread awareness of our bee decline, but it (incorrectly) suggested leaving a sugar solution out for them. Instead of giving one tired bee support, bees were being encouraged to these solutions in gardens and on window ledges. This is terrible for the hive because, unlike nutritious pollen and nectar, this solution will not feed the bee larvae properly and can also cultivate bacteria over time. Putting these out for bees will teach them to go there and leave the flowers unpollinated as the RSPB also warns. In the long-term, it could even end up getting an unsuspecting beekeeper prosecuted as his 'honey' turns out to be only sugar syrup. Feel proud that you are taking an active part in sustaining our forests as we plant a tree to replenish the sources we used to create your keyring. Welcome solitary bees into your garden and experience their pollinating powers with this DIY Bee Hotel Kit, designed in-house by Beevive's very own Architectural Technician and bee enthusiast Jacob Powell 🐝
