Jo has the Thursday Theme - songs relating to bees, to mark Radio 2’s Big Bee Challenge. Send all your bee-related song suggestions to jo.whiley@bbc.co.uk

The Big Bee Challenge is Radio 2’s brand new competition for kids, in partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society.

It’s a fun and creative way to learn more about bees and other insects that help provide much of the food we eat, and are essential for a healthy environment.

If you are between the ages of 6 and 12, Radio 2 wants you to draw a bright, buzzy garden that will attract bees and other pollinating insects.

Our team will turn the winning design into a real life garden at an NHS Trust site used by children and young people with mental health needs.

Think about the plants that bees love. Remember bees also get thirsty and they need a safe place to rest and lay their eggs. And don’t forget a place where you could sit to enjoy your glorious garden!

Then write 3-5 sentences telling us more about your drawing and why you want to help the bees.

Your entries need to reach us by 6pm on Monday 5 July.

Head to www.bbc.co.uk/radio2 for more info and to enter.
