Pollinator Power: A Guide to Bumblebees and Biodiversity
Welcome to Pollinator Power: A Guide to Bumblebees and Biodiversity
Join us on this journey into awe, action, and connection. Guided by the brilliant Andy Benson from Bumblebee Conservation Trust, you’ll discover the untold story of bumblebees and why they matter more than you ever imagined. Through seven engaging modules, you’ll learn how to identify different bees, support pollinator-friendly practices, plant with purpose, and speak up for the natural world. Whether you’re just bee-curious or ready to rewild your window box, garden, or plot, this course offers knowledge, inspiration, and tools to turn your outdoor space into a pollinator paradise.
You don’t need a garden. You don’t need to be a scientist. You just need curiosity—and maybe a little love for fuzzy things that buzz.
