Adopt a hairy footed flower bee through Worcestershire Wildlife Trust and help our wild creatures thrive!

270 species of bee have made their home in the UK. 93% of those are solitary bees, meaning that they do not live in colonies like bumblebees. Hairy footed flower bees are solitary bees and are one of five species of flower bee that live in the UK. With bee populations in decline throughout the UK, the conservation work, education and advice we provide helps reverse this trend. The money raised from your adoption will go towards the costs of carrying out this work, directly contributing to the survival of this endangered species so that populations can continue to grow.

Digital adoptions mean no packaging, minimal carbon footprint and maximum support for your adopted bee and our work.

Adoptees receive:

• a factsheet about hairy footed flower bees
• an adoption certificate
• a welcome letter from us
• a Create Your Own Nature Reserve Game for our younger adoptees
• a thank you message with a note to the recipient from you
• A hi-res image of a hairy footed flower bee in Worcestershire to use as a screensaver

Plus, throughout the year, we'll send 2 updates to the recipient with facts, news and updates about the bees and the Trust.

Worcestershire Wildlife Trust is entitled to reclaim the tax made on gifts by UK tax payers. This means that if you are a UK tax payer, your donation can increase by 25% - at no extra cost to you. If you choose to gift aid your donation, please remember that you need to have paid an amount of UK Income and/or Capital Gains tax in any tax year at least equal to the amount claimed by all the charities or Community Amateur Sports Clubs you donate to, (currently 25p per £1 donated). If this will not be the case or you cease to be a taxpayer, please let us know. Also, if you pay less income tax and/or capital gains tax in the current year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations it is your responsibility to pay any difference.
