Student Jo finds new home for bees
Posted on 14 July 2017
Jo, who works as a microbiologist at Harrrogate Water Brands, as well as studying for a MSc in Environmental Science and Management, mentioned to her employer that she was looking for a new home for her bees.
"I mentioned to managing director James Cain that I was searching for a site for my bees and he said 'no problem, bring them to work', she said. "He provided the perfect location, in a quiet spot of greenery, surrounded by wild flowers and trees.
"Bees play a vital role in the environment but sadly populations are in decline all over the UK, so it's wonderful to find a brilliant site outside my own office."
Mr Cain said: “We are delighted to welcome Jo’s bees to our site and to support the essential contribution beekeepers make to the natural environment.”
