Brighton and Hove Friends of the Earth is working with Friends of Hollingbury and Burstead Woods (FHBW) to create a new haven for local bees. The site is one of 60 ‘Bee Worlds’ springing up around the country as part of Friends of the Earth’s Bee Cause campaign.

The action will take place on January 6th 2013 and both groups will be clearing the steep slope to expose chalky soil which some bees love. If you’d like to get involved, please contact: Monica Jennings on 07712038533 or monica_jennings@hotmail.co.uk, or email: info@fhbw.org.uk.
