Big Bee Challenge
SAVE OUR BEES! This is something we will be launching in our check-up community time through the coming weeks. Our children really do care about their environment and many will want to do their bit to support our declining bee population.
Radio 2 have launched the Big Bee Challenge, as our bees are in danger and need us all to help in any way, big or small. Helen Thomas, Head of Radio 2 said “We hope to inspire young minds to think about the world around them by imagining a beautiful space that wildlife will thrive in, whilst looking and smelling gorgeous.
“Please encourage any children you know to send us their most creative designs. And for everyone else there’s the Big Bee Challenge Weekend which should be brilliant fun – whatever your age! Let’s all help to make a difference.”
The winner’s design will be built by the Royal Horticultural Society at an NHS Trust site which is used by children and young people with mental health needs.
The lucky winner will be invited to open the garden at an outside broadcast of The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on Radio 2. You will meet loads of guests, receive a professional illustration of your garden and go home with a box of goodies to help turn your own outside space into a wonderland for BEES!
