Bees’ Needs week 2025
Pollinators are a priority for the UK government and a key part of delivering the Environmental Improvement Plan. We know that bees, and other pollinating insects, are an essential part of our environment and play a crucial role in food production.
Defra works in partnership with many organisations and partners to help our precious pollinators survive and thrive.
Everyone has a part to play to encourage more beautiful butterflies and buzzing bees in your local area. We can all take simple steps to protect our pollinators and help to restore our natural world.
Bees’ Needs Week 2025: 14 to 20 July
Bees’ Needs Week is an annual event run by Defra, working with a range of organisations including conservation groups, businesses and charities.
