Save the Bees

Bees face several threats from climate change to loss of forage to the use of pesticides and pests and diseases. We need your help to finance research into how we can combat these threats for all pollinators.
Apiary and Education

We need your help to raise funds for our fantastic new Apiary Garden and Education Centre to enable schools to come and learn about the importance of honey bees, pollinators, beekeeping and the environment.
