Focused on this year’s theme of ‘building back better for bees’, the jam-packed schedule aimed to educate people on the actions that can be taken to restore, support and enhance the role of the ever-important pollinators as National Bee Day was marked.
Organised by the Bees&Seas team, the event saw people make bee hotels and finger puppets, as well as meeting beekeepers and going on guided walks
Bees&Seas is a local project born from a common passion to connect communities with nature, across the land and sea.
Three community groups – We Are FoodPioneers, Friends of Brooklands Park and Creative Waves – have united to create a community beekeeping project and educational training space in Brooklands Park, where the events are being held.
