Event details

Kids making bee pollen bombs
Make sure you 'bee' part of our wildlife-loving event on Saturday 13th April at Howard Park, Letchworth.

From 10am to 2pm, we'll be offering a range of fun activities to promote our Bee Corridor, including face painting, arts and crafts, and making bee/bug hotels and seed bombs to throw in a specific area at 1pm. The idea being that the seeds will grow into a patch of wildflowers for bees to enjoy!

Organisations due to take part include Love Letchworth, Hitchin Lavender, Letchworth Scout Group and local bee keepers.

Our grounds maintenance contractor John O'Conner initiated a 'bee corridor' last year, to help bees buzz around more easily - you may have seen the cute bee logo in shop windows in the town, as pictured. By increasing and joining up our bees' natural environment, we are helping this essential insect find the flowers they need to feed on and pollinate, find a mate and nesting site. Bees are fundamental to our ecosystem and we cannot afford to lose them!
