The Hive

The Hive's new site on Rougham Road will be our base of operations. We will be hosting sessions for families and adults from late 2020, as well as growing a variety of fruit and vegetables for our community. We look forward to welcoming our visitors soon! Here are some photos of the various areas of the site for you to see: 
We are really grateful to Salvatore Grasso, our beekeeper, for making this lovely video showing the site coming on in early August 2020.
