Something new is taking shape in Lowestoft. With support from the Suffolk Community Foundation, The Place to Bee is transforming an overlooked space into a shared garden and community apiary where people can connect through nature, at their own pace.

A look at how Biffa Bees is helping Project Apis CIC grow pollinator-friendly spaces through donated wildflower seeds and fruit trees

Over the past few months, we’ve invited schools, care homes, community organisations, and artists across Norfolk to help us decorate the hives used in our community apiaries. The result? Dozens of vibrant, hand-painted beehives—each one telling a different story, and each one built with pride, not just for the bees, but for the people who shaped them.
