Our annual ‘Meet The Bees’ event created a huge buzz in the park as The Nurture Group invited our community to learn about the lifecycle of a bee and how to identify the queen bee.
Carefully supervised and dressed head to toe in full beekeeping kit, occupiers were able to get up close and see these amazing insects at work, preparing to make Winnersh Triangle honey!
The bees benefit from a diverse range of plants across the business park, where we aim to protect local wildlife and boost biodiversity as part of our commitment to caring for the planet.
We’ve planted thousands of bulbs and added bug hotels, beehives, and bat boxes. We’ve also established a new native planting area and herb garden to support pollinators and other beneficial species.
Did you know? Bees are responsible for pollinating around 75% of the world’s flowering plants and about 35% of global food crops.
A single bee visits 50 to 100 flowers during one collection trip and can travel up to 5 miles to find food.
The queen bee is the largest bee in the hive and can live up to 5 years, laying thousands of eggs daily.
It’s so important we look after our bees and ensure they are able to thrive.
