2009 - Delivery of container to the site, apiary building and security gates 1st project after being granted a 3 year lease.The security gates were put in place. We held a Big Dig Day in partnership with BBC Breathing Places and Blue Peter and local children planted bee friendly plants ready for the proposed apiary. Beehives were ordered and delivered and are being stored elsewhere, awaiting their home on the site. The wooden apiary building has been erected and is finished all but for the window shutters and the flooring. The inner apiary fencing has been completed and the shrubs for the outer apiary boundary are now in place. Sadly we had to cancel our proposed Falconry Day because too many key workers were away at that time, and there were some acts of vandalism and attempts to break into the apiary building but this antisocial behaviour has not deterred us. We still have a problem with irresponsible dog owners allowing their pets to foul the site and we are still in urgent need of more volunteers but nevertheless we are positive about the outcome of this project which will be of benefit to all the local community.
