WILDLIFE presenters Steve Backshall, Michaela Strachan and Miranda Krestovnikoff are urging people in East Lancashire to get outside and take part in the Great British Bee Count 2015, which is taking place throughout May.

Organised by Friends of the Earth, Buglife and Waitrose, the project aims to build on the success of last year’s inaugural event, when more than 23,000 people took part, spotting in excess of 830,000 bees.

Gardeners across the region are also being encouraged to take steps to make their gardens more bee-friendly, and help provide crucial havens for our threatened pollinators.

Steve Backshall said: “Bees are our pals. Without their pollinating powers, our planet would grind to a halt.

“So get out, have a fun day in the countryside, and do a bit of citizen science counting our buzzing buddies

It's hard enough counting sheep!
My uncle is a bee keeper and travels the world doing lectures and advising. His honey is delicious

I have several plants in the garden that attract bees.

well there is no way I could count all the bees in my garden.
I could let them know about dead bees, it is most upsetting to find one.
