Community Element - Bees

Many people are turning to allotments - growing produce for themselves greatly shortening mileage. Rob visited the Slopefield Allotment in Aberdeen this week and reports on his visit.  There is a very real heart to increase the amounts of different pollinators such as bees so it was great to see the allotment holders growing a wide range of flowers and vegetables. To find out more about bees, visit The Bumblebee Conservation Trust and other pollinators - Grow Wild

Rob reports on work in the apiary at Hazlehead Park including creating new nucleus colonies. Rob is a member of Aberdeen and District Bee Keepers Association and Scottish Beekeepers Association.
