David Beckham’s new docuseries, Beckham, on Netflix has revealed his passion for bee keeping. No doubt DB’s Gold will be on the shelves by Christmas. 

However, creating a bee-friendly garden like Beckham involves designing a space that provides food, shelter,

and water for bees. We don’t all have acres of space in the Cotswolds, so how can grow a bee-friendly garden at home?

The most important thing that bees do is pollinate plants so they can reproduce.

In fact they pollinate approximately 70 of the 100 or so crop species that feed 90% of the world says Dr Anneke Veenstra from Deakin University.

Some plants are so reliant on bees that they have evolved over time to be more attractive to the insects. They do this by developing their scent and colours to lure them in.

Unfortunately there’s been an extraordinary decline in bee colonies around the world in recent years. This is due to land-use change, intensive agricultural management, pesticide use, environmental pollution and parasites.

There are around 25,000 species of bees worldwide, with many species native to particular countries. Having a bee-friendly garden is one thing you can do to promote native bees.
