Hello, my name is Queenie

I am Queen Bee of Three Little Woods.

I love telling people what to do because I am sure I always know best!

They call me Little Miss Bossy Boots, but I think it is because I am so organised. I have to be, and I have many honeybees waiting back at the hive.

One of my favourite hobbies is buzzing about Three Little Woods and finding the best honey.

Please take a look through the website to learn more about bees and the amazing things we can do.

Why are Bees so crucial to the world?

Bees are vitally important for everyone. Honey bees make honey by mixing nectar with enzymes and fanning the mixture with their wings to help the water evaporate. They also make beeswax, which we can use in cosmetics, candles, and furniture polish. But overall, they also do so much more.

Bees, including honey bees and bumblebees, pollinate over 250,000 species of plants and more than 100 different crops, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and many of the foods that farm animals rely on.

They are responsible for pollinating around one-third of all the foods we eat. Without bees, many plant crops would no longer exist, so there would be no apples or strawberries to eat, no cotton t-shirts to wear, and a lot less for farm animals.

So that is why I am so important!
