Before you leave home, leave a spoon with sugar in the yard - here's why people do it
Environmentalists are confident that such a simple technique can really help. But who and why?
In this case we are talking about bees.
These insects are not always loved. Some even think that bees are an obstacle between a person and a comfortable picnic.
But still, bees are important creatures, but their numbers on the planet are decreasing.
Scientists are sure that humanity will not survive long without them. This position is shared by British zoologist and TV presenter David Attenborough.
He noted that bees may seem small and insignificant, but they have a huge task - these insects pollinate almost a third of the food that humans eat.
But what to do?
You don't have to be a staunch environmentalist to simply respect nature and help the planet.
Attenborough recommends simple ways to help save bees from declining numbers.
The specialist suggests taking a teaspoon of sugar, adding a little water and leaving it in the garden or vegetable patch. This will give energy to the bees.
If someone sees a sluggish bee in the yard or in the house, it is enough to leave some sugar and water next to it so that it regains its strength.
Here's another way: plant some flowers on the balcony. The bees will like it.
