Competition! Help our Pollinators & ‘Bee’ part of our Honey Production
This article will take approximately 2 minutes to read
Published 21 Jul 2021 in Raising Awareness
Did you know that without the tireless work of our little buzzing friends, over a third of everything we eat would disappear from our tables? We are calling on our colleagues to help our pollinators and ‘bee’ part of our Honey Production.
Did you know we produce a batch of our very own yummy honey at Warwick Support Office?
Well in preparation for this, we’ll need the support of one lucky colleague to join the Bee team in extracting the honey ready for harvest on 20th August.
All you have to do is name the new queen that hatched recently replacing the old queen Bee ‘Georgia’. The new Bee will need a new name beginning with the letter 'G', so we need your help to name the new queen bee!
The competition closes on 11th August 2021. Terms and conditions are below.
Can't attend the harvest? Don't worry we have a jar of honey as a prize too!🍯
Sorry, the competition is now closed ☹
