🌼🐝🪻 Bee Squared Project 🪻🐝🌼
Our free bee-friendly seed packets proved a huge hit back in February. Have you planted yours yet? We’d love to hear from you! 🌱
We are hoping to build a community map to show the impact of the project. Your patch might feel small, but together we can create a powerful network of habitats - providing essential food and safe spaces for our declining bee population. 🐝
This project depends on you!
📧 Email us at info@fakenhamtowncouncil.gov.uk with:
• The approximate location
• The date you planted your seeds
Let’s grow something amazing together 🌼
