It was only a few years ago that people were seriously worrying about bumblebees becoming extinct in the UK altogether.

That would have had a serious impact on our ecosystem -- including here in Cornwall -- which is why one local group is doing its bit to help the species get back on its feet.

The Duchy of Cornwall Nursery has opened a whole garden that's specifically designed to help bumblebees flourish, and that you can make happen in your own garden as well.
