Worthing
Huge excitement reached for project Bees and Seas as the pollinator footprint across the town has been increased! Three community groups: We Are Food Pioneers, Friends of Brooklands Park and Creative Waves have come together to create a beekeeping and pollination hub in the heart of Brooklands Park. The land was very generously awarded to We Are Food Pioneers by Adur and Worthing Councils.
Over 2020/21, with lockdown, we have used our seafront more than ever before. To support that, the council is continuing to invest in improvements along our seafront, increasing the leisure and social offer and promoting further investment in the ‘Active Zone’ along the East Beach area of town. None of this is without challenges or difficulties. Many will agree that Worthing needs to continue to move forward and provide more new and improved facilities for residents and visitors to the town alike. Making that journey together with residents is integral to the work of the council and key to delivering a range of benefits to the town. Let’s build a town we can all be proud of.

Bee Kind Hives installed two beautiful log hives recently, one mounted on legs at this the new eco-pollinator site, marking an important step for our local community. These organic hives are designed for maximum thermal efficiency, reducing stress and energy consumption and maintaining steady temperatures throughout all seasons. The bees remain undisturbed at the height they prefer, optimised for a strong and healthy colony. Two additional managed poly hives will also sit on the site creating an important pollinator space for the local community. Key sponsor Sussex Transport very generously donated two shipping containers. One will be a classroom to run workshops, educating the local community and future generations about the vital role of the honeybee. Please get in touch if you would like to join project Bees and Seas as a volunteer.
