The William Temple
Bee Project

The project will see two bee hives placed in our church grounds

The land at the back of the church will be reorganised as a secure garden for the bees


The Canon Apiarist from the Cathedral will support us for 18 months


Volunteer Scheme to involve local volunteers


A chance for you to learn to be a beekeeper

   

Our Bee Project

Working with Manchester Cathedral's successful bee keeping project we want to build a volunteering and training programme targeting the unemployed in Wythenshawe.  We have lots of land at William Temple and have been assessed by the Cathedral and Groundwork as a suitable site for hives.

We have grant funding from Manchester City Council to enable us to set up two hives, purchase all necessary equipment and pay volunteer expenses.  During the first year of the project we will work with the Cathedral to identify other sponsors and funders to grow the project and make it sustainable for the future.

 

Get Involved!  

There’s lots to do:  

                learning about bee friendly plants
                creating/setting up hives
                looking after bees day to day
                honey extraction  

There’s something for everyone, new skills to learn and experiences to share. Get in touch!
