Latest News!
First Bee Safari!
April 2026
We've just held our first Bee Safari of 2026 on the Farnham Bee Trail. Here's one of our young participants having a close look at one of the wild bees we found, with thanks to David for the brilliant photo. Despite the somewhat chilly weather, bees we found included a beautiful red-tailed queen bumblebee, an ashy mining bee and a grey patch mining bee. We will be doing another Bee Safari as part of the Farnham Walking Festival on 20th May, appropriately World Bee Day! (Details here)

Our Clubs are buzzing!
February 2026
We were thrilled to receive a grant from the Community Foundation for Surrey towards funding for our community clubs. Together with affordable subs, our own fundraising efforts and other grants and donations, MINIBEASTS, HH Club and Bee-PLUS, our adult group (pictured), are all secure for another year. Our clubs are the lifeblood of Hive Helpers - check them out here
A Happy New Year for Hive Helpers!
January 2026
We started the New Year with the best news ever: help with funding for our youth group, HH Club, from Harmony Energy Farnham Battery Community Fund, and a generous donation from Rowledge Village Fayre towards running our MINIBEASTS club for 6-10 year olds and their families. Our pic shows some members of HH Club helping with conservation in a local churchyard - and also having fun!
