Product Information

Find a suitable container to create your mixture and remember you won’t need very much liquid for a single bee so a small container will be ample. The Original Bee Revival Keyring – Inspired by a spontaneous encounter with a tired bee. This bee-saving kit can be attached to your keychain for when you are out on the go and come across an exhausted bee in need of your help! The bee revival keyring provides an emergency solution to REVIVE an exhausted bee so it can continue its mission of pollinating planet Earth. Each of our kits will be suitable for saving two to three bees without needing to be refilled (unless you run into a particularly thirsty bee).

With that in mind sometimes our little furry friends need a helping hand, so let’s take a look at how you revive a bee with a simple sugar and water solution. Knowing when a bee needs help or is simply resting is critical, trying to feed a resting bee sugar water will simply distress it. Since then our product range and community has grown tremendously and we couldn't bee prouder. Our social media is buzzing with photos and videos of people helping bees all over the World. Now you can identify what kind of help your bee needs – from warming up in the sun to drinking life-saving sugar solutions. Carrying a revival kit around with you means you are on hand to help a tired bee even if you’re out and about.It’s really important you don’t force your bee to drink, if it requires an energy boost it will be capable of reaching your liquid of its own accord.

Tired bees are different to visibly injured or dying bees. Active adult bees only live for 4-6 weeks, so if you spot a bee that has a noticeably darker body, has lost their hair or has tattered wings then it’s best to leave them alone. Throughout the United Kingdom, there are a whopping 25 species of bumblebee, 260 species of solitary bee, and 1 honey bee species, all vital to pollinating our plants and food crops. Western honeybees only live for between 30-60 days and bumblebees even less at approximately 28 days.Reviving a bee with a potential disease or infection could actually be detrimental, so as a rule, you should never help bees close to their nest or hive. You just unscrew the vial inside your bee revival kit and place it close to your tired bee in exactly the same way you would with a sugar and water mix as detailed above. Keep a lookout for tired bees, especially during autumn and spring when the weather is more unpredictable, and flowers are less abundant. This can take the form of creating a wildflower area in your garden, planting more bee-friendly flowers or even helping a local organisation develop wildlife areas around your local community.
