About Bee Urban is a social enterprise that aims to work with communities to
improve the environment for the benefit of us all. We focus on responsible urban
beekeeping, horticulture and community growing. It’s not just about bees, people
are vital to Bee Urban. Community engagement and volunteering is important to
us, providing opportunities to contribute to the locality, be creative and
reduce social isolation. We are here to work with everyone, whatever your age,
