Today we had the wonderful Erica and Juliet join us in the garden from Farnham based Community Interest Company, Hive Helpers. Hive Helpers is based on the Surrey and Hampshire border, with sites in and around Farnham. As a Community Interest Company, they operate in the interests of the community to provide an ecotherapy-based wellness service to adults and children through beekeeping and nature conservation activities. Running a twice weekly youth club and apiary at the Farnham Community Farm, the team keep themselves busy but are always looking for ways in which to engage children in conservation. Erica and Juliet joined us to discuss how Busy Bees and Hive Helpers could work together in the future to enhance the educational sessions that we offer to pupils through the school garden and to pass on some of their wildlife wisdom. We have lots of exciting ideas in the pipeline as a result of their visit, from newt hibernation habitats to bumblebee nesting sites and would like to pass on our thanks to Erica and Juliet for giving us their time today! We hope to get them back to the school in the summer to run some outdoor classes for the pupils on honey bees and wild bees. Watch this space!
