Women at Sheila Fleet - Part 3!
Mar 16, 2023
With retail locations now in Edinburgh, Glasgow, St Andrews and Orkney, we're delighted to have...
Bumblebee, a collection full of character, inspired by Summer days in Sheila's Garden
We have an exciting announcement... starting today, we are donating a percentage* from every sale of jewellery from our Bumblebee collections to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
But that's not all, the Bumblebee collection is growing!
Today is spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere—the astronomical first day of spring—and Sheila is excited to be launching her new Great Yellow Bumblebee collection to celebrate!
The collection is designed to closely resemble the marking of the Great Yellow bumblebee, with its distinctive yellow tail. Take a look and browse the full range.
And don't forget, our free wildflower seed mix with each purchase is continuing for all UK orders, encouraging you all to create bee-friendly gardens.
We wanted to support the Bumblebee Conservation Trust with a charitable collection which we hope will go some way towards conservation and help to raise awareness.
The donation will go towards projects such as their project Saving the Great Yellow Bumblebee, dedicated solely to safeguarding the threatened population of one of Britain's rarest bumblebees.
The Great Yellow bumblebee (Bombus distinguendus), could once be found widespread throughout Great Britain. But in the last 50 years this has reduced to only five known population centres; Caithness, North West Sutherland, Orkney, Inner Hebrides, Outer Hebrides.
Along with planting the wildflower seed mix, free with your bumblebee purchase, here are a few things you can do to create a more bee-friendly garden.
Visit the Bumblebee Conservation Trust for more information on what you can do to help and encourage bees in your garden.
