Urban Bees protects bees in towns and cities by working with companies to create bee-friendly office rooftops and by educating people about the 270 different bee species in the UK and the simple steps we can all take to help them.

I’m an author, journalist and award-winning bee champion. Alongside rewilding corporate rooftop gardens in London to provide food, shelter, and nesting sites for bees, I’ve written four books about bees, including the bestselling, A World Without Bees, delivered a Tedx talk ‘The Urban Buzz’, and co-created a Bee Trail App.

I became interested in docile, non-aggressive solitary bees when I developed an allergic reaction to honeybee stings and gave up beekeeping to focus on the overlooked wild bees that need our help more.

Fantastic experience with Alison. We learned so much and came away with great materials to carry on watching and planting for bees (identified a Carder bee in my greenhouse yesterday on a basil plant and was so excited!). I now know the best places in Regent's Park to watch for bees, the best things to plant to attract and feed them, and how to make and maintain good homes for them. Also appreciating the diversity of bees (and the utter cuteness of a bumblebee!) We felt totally relaxed, unrushed and could ask lots of questions which was so great. Would highly recommend!
