Allotments are the best habitat for bees according to the results of the first Great British Bee Count this summer.
More bees were seen on allotments than on any other habitat including parks, gardens, and the countryside during the 12-week bee count from June to August.
More than 23,000 people across the UK took part in the count using a smartphone app to log their sightings of 830,000 bees.
An average of 12 bees per count were spotted on allotments compared to 10 in the countryside, eight in gardens, seven in parks and only four on roadside verges.
