'Climate Change Helter Skelter'
Recycled materials: climbing frame, hanging baskets, plastic sand bags, wood, copper piping, compost, yellow tent fabric, black waterproof fabric, tent poles. Willow, nectar rich plants, grasses.

The 'Climate Change Helter Skelter' explores the link between bee loss and our actions resulting in global warming.

Baskets are lined with blue to attract bees to the nectar rich plants, both wild and garden flowers planted within. Red baskets planted with wind pollinated grass show what will happen when we have passed the global warming 'tipping point'- the point of no return.

Bees are climate change indicator animals. They hibernate. Surveys this century have sightings as early as December whereas February used to be the earliest bees were seen. Bees are responding to warmer temperatures caused by global warming from our use of fossil fuels. Climate change causes temperature fluctuating winters not good for bees as they die when a cold snap returns, also wet summers lead to increased viral disease in the bee population cooped up in the hive.

What can you do to help?
Support organic food producers, shops and supermarkets whose policy it is to ban use of pesticides dangerous to bees.
Plant bee friendly nectar rich garden and wild flowers.
Make positive changes to your lifestyle, at home and at work that will help to stop global warming.
