beekeeping without barriers
Project Apis CIC is a Norfolk-based social enterprise using beekeeping to bring people together, support mental wellbeing, and create inclusive spaces for learning, healing, and growth.
Through our community apiaries, we provide volunteering opportunities, skill-building workshops, and gentle, nature-based activities for people facing challenges such as mental health issues, recovery from addiction, and social isolation. Whether it's tending to hives, making beeswax candles, or planting for pollinators — our work is rooted in care, connection, and purpose.
We believe that everyone should have access to the simple joys of nature and the healing rhythm of the hive.

Seasonal estimateThe volunteer hours, attendances, apiary open days, hive inspections, individual volunteer numbers and hive totals shown above are confirmed recorded figures from June 2026 to the beginning of September 2026. Our digital recording system was introduced during the 2026 season, so activity that took place before June is not fully represented in these totals. The true impact of our full 2026 beekeeping season is therefore higher than the figures shown here.
Bee numbers remain a seasonal estimate because colony populations naturally rise and fall throughout the year. Honey bees are only one part of the pollinator picture, and our wider work also supports awareness of bumblebees, solitary bees, habitat, planting and responsible environmental action.
