A buff-tailed bumblebee foraging on knapweed — one of the most productive late-summer bee plants in the UK.
Flower-rich grasslands like this support dozens of bumblebee species — yet 97% of the UK's meadows have been lost since the 1930s.
Connected green corridors — hedgerows, field margins, and woodland edges — allow bumblebees to move between habitats and sustain healthy populations.
A well-planted garden — however modest — can be a vital source of nectar and pollen for local bumblebees throughout the season.
