Bees are a crucial part of our ecosystem as without them the number of plants would rapidly decline and our vibrant biodiversity would be at risk, to the detriment of all life on Earth. Herts & Essex Community Farm are passionate about protecting the biodiversity and one way which we can help to do this is by introducing more bee hives to our farm.
Since the introduction of our first hive we have seen an increase in our annual harvest, which means more fresh produce for the local community.
Herts & Essex Community Farm is a not for profit community growing site situated in Fold Croft, Harlow. Open to all for volunteering opportunities, the site promotes social inclusion and wellbeing in Harlow whilst also providing fresh and organic produce to the local community.
