Committee Member Hans Zomer reminds us:

Spring is an important period for our buzzing buddies, the bees. Bees and other pollinators rely on a variety of flowers for food from March to October, especially in the spring, when they’re just waking up from their winter hibernation. And some of their favourite food comes from these beautiful yellow flowers, that many people consider weeds. Did you know that there are 98 species of bee in Ireland? And that only one of them, the honey bee, is not at risk? So, this spring, lend a helping hand, by doing something simple: let those dandelions bloom, and leave this yellow bee superfood bee!
