Plan Bee at the Co-Op.... Free Seeds!

Wildflowers are an important source of nutrition for pollinators, yet 97% of the UK’s wildflower meadows have been lost since the 1930s. That’s why Plan Bee has given away 1.2 million packets of wildflower seeds since 2009. 

Request your free packet of seeds from the Co-Op via the link below and get involved!

Bees at work in our garden...




Can you spot the pollen this little bee has collected on its back leg? 


During a rare spell from the rain we got a good look at our bees collecting pollen from our pear trees - we brought the bees back to our garden to try and get a higher fruit yeild and fingers crossed its working! 
More fruit AND lovely honey, we really can't complain :-)
