Today, as we celebrate the vital role that bees play in our ecosystem, we're shining the light on the Leaders in Community Beekeeping programme in East London. This initiative isn't just about honey; it's about community, learning, and personal growth.
Through the Leaders in Community Programme (LiC) Beekeeping programme, residents like Yoyo, Reece, Romana, and Ali have found more than just a hobby – they’ve found a passion. Here’s what they have to say:
“I have improved physical and mental health as I am much more active. I have made so many new friends and attend other socials with these people. I have also learnt so much through the training that I am now thinking about having my own hive.” Yoyo
“I have made so many valuable friendships which I will always cherish. I have also been able to use the knowledge I have gained through the program to now build my own personal hive.” Reece
“The course has helped me become a beekeeper. I knew nothing about bees and now have been able use all the training I’ve had to do additional accreditation. I have also made my own hive back home which I have been traveling down for every 2 months.” Romana
“This course is truly beneficial for self-development and making new friends and connections.” Ali
