Sponsor a community beekeeping session
This is a simple, affordable way for a business or individual to support one of our weekly community beekeeping sessions. Session sponsorship helps us keep hands on beekeeping free and accessible across our regular apiary locations.
How it works
Each week, Project Apis CIC runs community beekeeping sessions across our five regular locations. A sponsor can support one session, a small run of sessions, or a full week of sessions across our community apiaries.
Sponsor one session
A simple one off sponsorship for an individual community beekeeping session at one of our weekly locations.
Sponsor three sessions
A good option for businesses that want to support several sessions and receive repeated visibility.
Sponsor five sessions
Support a full week of community beekeeping sessions across our five regular locations.

Help us bring beekeeping, biodiversity, and nature connection into more communities.
Project Apis CIC creates and supports community run apiaries across Great Yarmouth, East Norfolk, and surrounding areas. Your support helps us keep beekeeping accessible, improve local biodiversity, and create greener spaces where people can learn, volunteer, and connect with nature.
What your support makes possible
Every hive, suit, tool, workshop, and community session is made possible through support from people, businesses, funders, volunteers, and local partners who believe that access to nature should not depend on income, space, confidence, or background.
Community apiaries
We create and support community run apiaries where local people can experience hands on beekeeping in a safe and supported way.
Biodiversity
We help communities create better habitats for pollinators through planting, education, hive care, and practical conservation activity.
Wellbeing and access
We remove barriers to beekeeping by providing equipment, training, volunteer opportunities, and free or low cost nature based sessions.
Your support helps us stay practical, local, and useful.
It helps pay for protective clothing, hive tools, bee feed, workshop materials, travel to community sites, site maintenance, safety equipment, training, and new apiary setup costs.
