Bees are the world's most extraordinary pollinating force, ensuring that commercial crops and wild flowers and trees produce the fruits and seeds that feed a huge array of other wildlife (and us!). Bees have suffered in recent times from the decline in the wildflowers that give them the nectar and pollen that they need and from the loss of safe nesting places.

In 2010 money from the sale of the exclusive LET IT BEE t-shirts and donations will help to create a new nature reserve for bees: the Field of Hope, home to rare species and important colonies.
