Our friends in Incredible Edible Pevensey & Westham are in the process of creating a new community apiary in Pevensey by clearing away a lot of undergrowth and rubbish from a site that has been neglected for decades. This project has already attracted significant funding from several quarters and has a lot of support from a growing band of committed volunteers, some of whom are members of our group.
It won’t be long before the first beehives go in, but there’s much planting to do to make the site truly bee-friendly and truly accessible for people to visit in order to learn how to look after honey bees. There are already many bumblebees on the site, so a new Bee World is forming rapidly! This is the kind of project that Friends of the Earth is supporting nationally through its Bee Cause campaign as a crucial way of protecting all our bees
