As it's World Bee Day - Friday 20th May - we thought we'd tell you why we're buzzing about the new WeatherBeetarugs!
So why bees?
Bees are essential for the health of the planet and us. Not only does honey and other products have medicinal properties, but without bees we wouldn't have half the fruit and vegetables that we do today. To put it simply, we cannot live without them.
Bees – fun facts
A bee produces a teaspoon of honey (about 5 grams) in her lifetime.
To produce a kilogram of honey, bees fly the equivalent of three times around the world in air miles.
The type of flower the bees take their nectar from determines the honey's flavour.
Male bees have bigger eyes to help them find the Queen Bee.
There are over 20,000 different species of bee, found on every continent except Antarctica.
Sadly they're in trouble. Their decline in population is caused by a combination of lost habitat, food sources and exposure to pesticides. More than ever before, we need to spread the importance of bees. This Spring season, WeatherBeeta have teamed up with Plan Bee Ltd to adopt 2 beehives. They have over 80,000 bees to name so would love your help! To name a bee, simply click here and enter a name!
Okay so we've covered why bees, but what makes the WeatherBeetarug and cooler so great?
A strong, classic style rug at a great price. Featuring a 1200 denier ripstop outer shell with a waterproof and breathable repel shell coating. A traditional side gusset for natural movement, 100% boa fleece wither, twin adjustable buckle front closure, adjustable/removable leg straps, with twin low cross surcingles and standard tail flap.
Ideal for travelling, cooling or as an under rug, with an Anti-Pill finish to help prevent bobbling after prolonged use. A nylon overlay at the shoulders to help prevent stretching and rubbing. As well as adjustable twin chest straps, low cross surcingle's and a fillet string. This cooler is a perfect companion for your horse!
Help us spread the importance of bees, whether it means buying a bee rug or simply adding a flower or two to your garden. Let's get the yard talking about them! Here’s hoping you’ve learnt a bit more about the story behind the rugs. Which animal do you think will be next?
