Bee numbers in the UK have halved over the last 20 years and as a third of the food we eat is dependent on pollination, it is essential we have to save them.
The Co-operative’s Plan Bee campaign is a 10-point plan to tackle the loss of honeybees in the UK. No one knows for certain what is causing the decline in the bee population, which is why we have funded research into honeybee healthy and prohibited certain pesticides from our own brand fruit and vegetables.
We have advised our members on how to become bee friendly gardeners and now we think it’s time to take the campaign a step further and offer you an opportunity to attend one of our FREE introductory bee keeping training events that will be taking place in May.
Details of events in the South East are below:
- Surrey & Berks | Friday 20 May, 10am – 4pm | Brooklands Hotel. Brooklands Drive, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 0SL
- Kent | Friday 27 May, 10am – 4pm | Singleton Environment Centre, Wesley School Road, Singleton, Ashford, Kent, TN23 5LW
