Henllan Bee Project
Community action to save disappearing bees
We all depend on bees for our food - up to third of our crops depend upon bees for their pollination - but our bees are disappearing!
Bee populations are falling throughout the world so in response to this the village of Henllan in Denbighshire has decided to take action themselves to benefit bees in their community by creating the Henllan Bee Project.
The aim of the project is to increase the bee population in and around Henllan through action in community spaces, gardens and on farmland. This will be done through a series of workshops and family events. It is funded by Cadwyn Clwyd and delivered for the community by the North Wales Wildlife Trust in collaboration with the Henllan Conservation Group.
So come along and join us - have some fun, learn new skills and help make Henllan a haven for bees! Upcoming events are listed below.
Please keep checking this page or call Simon Farr on 01352 810469 for the latest event news or for more information about the project.
Also check out the information in the window of Henllan Post Office.
Booking is essential, via Simon Farr.
Priority will be given to local residents.
