This weekend (27th June 2010) The Sunday Telegraph launches its campaign to Bring Back Bees.

The newspaper, in collaboration with the British Beekeepers' Association (BBKA), hopes to encourage 200 readers to become 'armchair beekeepers' to adopt a hive and by doing so support 10 million bees this summer.

For gardeners, there is an article on making your garden bee-friendly by the Sunday Telegraph columnist and Gardeners' Question Time panellist Bunny Guinness.

Further articles will appear over the summer to highlight the plight of our native bees and support beekeeping.
