In the early 1980s, a Harvard University biologist named Edward O. Wilson proposed a theory called biophilia: that humans are instinctively drawn towards their natural surroundings.

Nature is the grandest show on earth, and bumblebees, beautiful and gentle can create a sense of wonder - to all ages. Our work with children in schools and particularly our unique Bumblebee Education Experience has shown how inspired children can be.

We would like to continue our work educating, enthusing and helping to create a generation that wants to protect nature, in particular the humble bumble, now and in the future. Your support will help the Trust achieve this.
