Plant a flower, support the environment, help grow young minds and contribute to the fight against antibiotic resistance.

Cardiff University's awarding winning Pharmabees project is working with the people of Wales to support essential pollinators such as honey bees and to ensure that Wales remains a green and pleasant place to live https://youtu.be/tQctVn4QQQU?si=zTNCrv04NDbHxBq1

In support of this aim the university are working with the public to develop a wild flower friendly seed mix containing plants which attract bees and other pollinators and can grow in different habitats.

The information will underpin the development of a seed mix capable of nationwide use.

In addition to encouraging more pollinators we also work with schools to pollinate young minds and highlight the importance of nature and science to their lives. It is concerning that there are children in our urban centres who have no connection with nature.

This project originated from a laboratory based research project to identify new antibiotics in honey and native Welsh plants which could be used to treat the antibiotic resistant superbugs which are blighting the lives of many and threaten the future of healthcare. This life saving research underpins all that we do and is at the heart of the Pharmabees project.

Unfortunately these activities depend on public support to survive. ;Please donate as much as you can afford to support this planet friendly project.
