Scything workshops

We are delighted to have been awarded funding through the Community Foundation Surrey for a community beekeeping group for adults, to complement those we offer for children and young people. Called Bee-PLUS because it's beekeeping - plus a whole lot more! We are already up and running to make the most of this beekeeping season. For more information about Bee-PLUS, click HERE
