I had the pleasure of participating in a Bee School a few weeks ago at a primary school in Clichy-sous-Bois, France, to teach the kids the key role bees play as pollinators to our food safety and in biodiversity conservation. The class was lovely. Brilliant young minds asking great questions. Children always understand quickly what adults often try to overcomplicate or excuse. There were many smiles except when they realized that without bees there was no chocolate!

We discussed how the disappearance of bees is a worldwide phenomenon which is endangering biodiversity.

These are the kinds of committed daily actions you can do with your kids at home:

1. Plant ‘melliferous’ - pollen and nectar-rich plants - to create a safe habitat and substantial food source for bees.
2. Set up your own bee waterer at home. Bees need water, not only to quench their thirst, but also to nurse developing larvae and keep their nests cool during summer.

This is how you can create a safe bee waterer at home:

* Grab a large bowl, not made of plastic or aluminum. It is important that the materials are porous or mineral, so that the bees can have a better grip and avoid drowning. Such materials let water fill in the little gaps more easily, allowing bees to drink.
* Add water and rocks, stones and/or pebbles. Corks can also be a good alternative.
* Place the waterer in your garden. Bees must be able to access it easily, so it should be left out in the open, in a large enough area that is free of any safety hazards.
