Promote World Bee Day with Wildflower Seeds

Celebrate World Bee Day 2023 on the 20th of May. Held on this date to honour the birth date of Anton Janša, the pioneer of modern beekeeping, World Bee Day was created to raise awareness of the importance of bees and beekeeping for the environment.

Here at Sow Easy, we are buzzing to help brand agencies, trade suppliers, and wholesalers with a range of wildflower products that will help their customers not only spread awareness of the bee’s plight but actively give something back to the bees by way of providing food and habitat for them.

Other Bee-Friendly Promotions & Awareness Campaigns

Many people are now aware of the threat to our bee population (and other pollinating insects) and the potential environmental problems their decline could cause. Their pollination work is crucial to the survival of our ecosystems, with 75% of the world’s food crops relying on it. They help to provide food security and converse biodiversity, so awareness campaigns are vital for helping them not only survive but to thrive.

So, World Bee Day isn’t the only awareness campaign that’s been organised to help educate people about the importance of our bees. Other opportunities for brands to shout about bee conservation in their marketing campaigns include:

  • RHS Plants for Pollinators – Helping gardeners by providing information on the best flowers to plant in your garden to provide food for pollinators
  • Bees’ Needs Week – 10th to 16th July
  • An awareness week organised by DEFRA (Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) working alongside charities, businesses, conservation groups and academic institutions to raise awareness of bees and other pollinators.
  • Bee the Change Project – Quick simple ideas to make your local area more bumble-bee friendly
  • Don’t Step on a Bee Day – 10th July – A day to encourage people to be good to bees. Share your efforts on social media and encourage others to do the same

Wildflower Seeds for Bees

Why are wildflowers so important for Bees?

  • Bees are threatened when we destroy their natural habitats and sources of food, including wildflowers.
  • Agriculture and property development are major causes.
  • Small-scale personal choices also have an effect – when we mow our lawn and remove ‘weeds’, we remove a bee’s source of food.
  • The simplest thing anyone can do to help sustain the bee population is to plant wildflowers! Nectar-rich wildflowers provide food and habitat to live in.

Help consumers to create their own oasis for bees at home, or in their local community with our range of promotional wildflower seed products.
