With Beebombs you can re-create these lost habitats and to help bring back the bees.
Beebombs are designed to ensure diverse and thriving wildflowers and could not be easier- they need no gardening skill, no tilling or sowing in the traditional sense. Just throw your Bee Bombs onto cleared soil and await the blossom of colour and return of native bee and butterfly species.
