May mayhem!

May 2026

May has been quite the month for Hive Helpers! Erica delivered a workshop 'All About Bees' for Surrey Wildlife Trust, we led a Bee Safari on World Bee Day, as part of the Farnham Walking Festival, where Erica was thrilled to discover a Bryony mining bee (above, captured  beautifully by David Gosnell), and finally we became TV stars! That's TV Surrey came to Blacknest Fields to film a report on World Bee Day, highlighting the nature recovery site and how we help in the conservation of the wild bees there. See us on TV

First Bee Safari!

April 2026

We've just held our first Bee Safari of 2026 on the Farnham Bee Trail. Here's one of our young participants having a close look at one of the wild bees we found, with thanks to David for the brilliant photo. Despite the somewhat chilly weather, bees we found included a beautiful red-tailed queen bumblebee, an ashy mining bee and a grey patch mining bee. We will be doing another Bee Safari as part of the Farnham Walking Festival on 20th May, appropriately World Bee Day! (Details here)

Together with affordable subs, our own fundraising efforts and other grants and donations, MINIBEASTS, HH Club and Bee-PLUS, our adult group (pictured), are all secure for another year. Our clubs are the lifeblood of Hive Helpers -  check them out here
