Taking up Beekeeping with the Co-op
It looks as though everyone is jumping on the beekeeping bandwagon at the moment. A good thing for bees, a good thing for the environment and a good thing for beekeepers too.
Even the Coop are trying to encourage people to get into beekeeping. Their ‘Plan Bee‘ has been offering training courses and has even funded beekeeper starter packs including bee colonies and hives for Manchester allotment holders.
They have now expanded the project from Manchester to London and Inverness. I’m not sure why they’ve picked those cities, but it doesn’t seem likely that I’ll be able to get a free starter kit from anywhere. I doubt that they will expand the project to take in Borth and Ynyslas, but it would have been good to get some start-up funding to increase beekeeping in the area. I wonder if anyone else is willing to fund such a project locally?
