Allotment

Our Bee Mentor

We're really sorry to say goodbye to our lovely Bee Mentor, Sarah who is moving on for new exciting plans.

Sarah has helped us with our bees and hives for the last two years and facilitated some really interesting group and one-to-one Bee Keeping sessions.

Sarah has also got stuck in with other tasks around the community garden including playing her accordion for us at some of last years fire circles!

So, we shall really miss Sarah.

However, the great news is that we have a new Bee Mentor joining us.

Welcome Annemarie!

Annemarie is a member of the Cambridge BeeKeeping Association and is an experienced bee keeper. We have already discussed some new ideas and we are planning to introduce a second hive on site.

We're really looking forward to working with Annemarie. Watch this space for Bee updates!
