British New Fashion "Tipping Bee"

In recent years, the number of insects capable of spreading pollen, such as honey, has dropped dramatically worldwide, and the United Kingdom is no exception. In order to help restore the number of bees, the British government has taken many measures. Recently, the "battle" to save the bees has even entered the fashion circle. The new fashion that claims to be able to encourage insects to spread pollen by “vital bees and butterflies” has emerged.

From a human aesthetic point of view, these fancy clothes may not be perfect. However, for insects such as bees and butterflies, these clothes are not only good-looking but also very delicious.

These special costumes were jointly developed by costume designers and biologists. The leaves and flowers on the clothing are drawn from the real plants, and the pollen section is appropriately enlarged. The purpose is to attract the attention of pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and moths.

In addition to the patterns that attract insects' attention, these garments also have a layer of "sugar coating." According to reports, a small amount of sucrose and fructose are covered on the fabric. Most of the wearers do not feel this vague sweetness, but for bees and butterflies, this smell is very obvious. And when insects land on clothes, they can really "eat a meal." Of course, designers use such a special design, not just to feed insects with clothes, but to stimulate their appetite and help insects improve pollination efficiency.
