A family guide to saving our bees

Inspired by our children’s book Suzie Saves the Bees, this visual guide shows how simple outdoor actions can turn any garden, balcony, or window box into a flourishing haven for pollinators. Step away from screens, embrace the fresh air, and discover how small hands can make a grand difference for nature.

Planting seeds and nectar-rich herbs

Transform your outdoor spaces into buzzing buffets by sowing native wildflowers alongside fragrant herbs such as lavender, rosemary, and thyme. With the seed packs tucked into every Lee & Hive gift box, children can follow Suzie's lead by sprinkling seeds, waving their handmade garden wands, and eagerly watching vibrant blooms emerge to feed local honeybees and bumblebees all season long.

Safe watering stations and nesting spots

Bees work tirelessly each day and need clean, safe hydration without the risk of drowning. Create a simple bee watering station by filling a shallow ceramic dish with pebbles or marbles and clean water, giving insects a dry landing spot to pause and drink. Pair this with a sunny bee hotel or sheltered nesting box to offer solitary bees a peaceful home to rest.

Inspiring stories and meaningful family rituals

Protecting pollinators begins with curiosity and care. Our carefully curated gift boxes bring families together around soothing scented candles and melts, a heartwarming storybook adventure, wildflower seed packets, and a craft activity to design your own garden wand. Explore our online collection to enjoy screen-free learning, gentle rituals, and environmental storytelling that nurtures nature from home.
