Save the bees!
Our delicious frozen fruit pops would not be possible without all the hard work of our favorite fuzzy pollinators, and they are in danger. For every pop purchased 1kr is donated to Naturskyddsforeningen to help save our bees, and that’s the bee’s knees.
​
Diseases, pesticides and a changing environment are threatening nature’s biggest pollinators. About a third of the food we eat relies on bees to pollinate our fruits and vegetables. Without bees we wouldn’t have any delicious fruit pops to enjoy.
How can we help?
4 things you can do to help our bees!
01
Organic
Buy organic food to reduce the use of pesticides that are
harmful to our favorite pollinators, the bees.
​
Some produce use more pesticides than others and if can buy from local farmers and markets. If can, buy organic strawberries, pears, apples, grapes, nectarines and blueberries, as they tend to need more pesticides than others.
03
Home
Help the bees with housing. We don't have as much greneery as before or many places for animals to thrive.
Build a nice house for them!
You need a wooden box that you fill with blocks of untreated wood or small logs into which you drill small holes. Make sure the box has a sloping roof to deflect rain. Ideally the drilled holes will be between 2mm and 10mm.
02
Environment
Grow flowers on the balcony, in the garden and save wildflowers, blooming trees and bushes when you prune as well as sow some nes ones. The bees loves it!
​
How to make a seed bomb!
Mix 1 part native wildflower seeds with 5 parts clay from your outside and 3 parts compost.
Add some water until the mix can form balls. Let the balls dry for 24-48 hours before tossing them where you want flowers to grow.
04
Quench the thirst
Make a waterstation for bees so they can safely drink on their way to pollinate some more for us.
How to make a waterstation:
All you need is a shallow bowl,
fill it with water and add a good amount of stones and pebbles so the bees have nice spots to land and help them avoid drowning.
