We have beecome a registered Community Interest Company The Honeycomb CO-OP Ltd

Thanks for bearing with us..

Time to get those grants so we can get our Honeycomb infrastructure up and functioning.

2022 autumn we seek to have a agricultural exchange with either Uganda or Tanzania.

Last year this month we donated to a environmental support group to rehouse 2,000 oak saplings, this is some of them repotted in reused timber pots.

A mature Oak tree supports upto 500 different kinds of species within the duration of its life.

To us a oak tree is equal to what a healthy honeycomb with its residents provides for us especially in regards to our variety of fresh food that is grown locally regionally or globally.

Thanks again for the donations over the past year. You donations help us to cover the day to day care of our Hens, trees and hives.

We have secured our address within 150m from our tenancy at SA 18.

We are in the final stages of completing our CIC36, so hopefully we will be fully insured and registered by the end of this year.

Greetings there 🐝 utiful people’s

We have contacted KeepWalesTidy in regards to littering, and we will have a colleague from KWT, to begin the process of establishing our own Litter group for our Woodlands headquarters.

This will allow those with a common interest in playing their part in reducing the amount of daily litter and where possible establishing recycling reuse services thereby creating 🐝 friendly communities for our future generations.

May 31st Tom Ashmore will be at CF64 2RH from 10:30am-12pm as the facilitator for this event: due to ongoing Covid measures this is a invite by registration ONLY.

As soon as I get the email with the registration document I will post it via here.

Equipment will be provided by KWT; please bring your own gloves.

We will weather permitting* have a working day on site, with a jerk pans to feed our volunteers and staff 😊

Greetings 1 & all

So this was some of our volunteers who helped us to prevent unnecessary landfill pollution-

With the help of these bee utiful individuals we were able to deconstruct a 18 ft swimming pool infrastructure to reconstruct it as part of our Fruit & Berries orchard at our new 15 acres tenancy.

I’m glad to say that all who participated are well and enthusiastic to complete what we begun.

It’s our aim to provide work for our volunteers and members of our Honeycomb support group in the next 6 weeks to help over the festive holidays.

We also seek to provide hampers - a little sample of our future products all ethically harvested from our Hives including honey wine ,balms, candles and obviously the Beautiful honeycomb.
