Starting young!

October 2024

​

Erica and Juliet delivered a free pollinator workshop at Bright Horizons Day Nursery and Pre-School, thanks to funding from Harmony Energy. The children learnt how bees pollinate plants to make the food we eat, did some candle rolling and tried on bee suits - they all had a great time! We still have some slots for free workshops for primary age children - please contact us for further details

Hive Helpers is helping restore nature at St Mark's churchyard in Hale, near Farnham. Churchyards are great places for nature. Liam, one of our supported volunteers, worked with Erica to refurbish the bug hotel to welcome lots of lovely bugs!​

Scything workshops

August 2024

We ran our first scything workshops at the end of August, made possible by funding from the Farnham Institute Charity. Participants learned how to put together and sharpen a scythe, the technique for cutting a meadow and why scything is so good for wildlife.
