Wexford Tidy Towns “Let’s Bee Friendly” biodiversity campaign was launched this year by the biodiversity committee of Wexford Tidy Towns and supported by Wexford County Council as an action under the Wexford County Biodiversity Action Plan 2013-2018. The aim was to encourage everyone to keep under-threat pollinators like bees in mind when planting and looking after our gardens. Garden centres in Wexford have been encouraging shoppers to include bee-friendly flowers in their shopping basket. Learn more about how you can help from our gardening tips and pledge your support to the “Let’s Bee Friendly” campaign. We would love to hear about any actions you have taken to help the bees this summer by filling in the form on the “Let’s Bee Friendly” page.

Also have you seen any of the bee friendly flower around Wexford town they are looking great and help our buzzing little friends. Below is a small section of people involved in the campaign and some of the flowers you can find around the town.

Wexford County Council have a great wild flower display growing at the entrance to their HQ.

Wexford in Bloom helped provided lots of flowers around the town this Summer that both the people and bees enjoyed.

The bee-friendly flowerbeds on 1798 Street were planted by workers from the Council, along with green-fingered volunteers from the Cornmarket Project.

Wexford Creamery were one of the groups that sponsored a “bee friendly” flower bed which is located at Rocklands.

This is one of the “Let’s Bee Friendly” posters which is located on the Quays in Wexford.

We thank everyone for their support to this important biodiversity campaign and encourage people to make a pledge on the “Let’s Bee Friendly” campaign page to let everyone know how you did or are helping our bees!
