Since 2015, a small apiary was created on the farm to help enhance biodiversity and pollination. Up to 8 hives are located at the farm, at any one time, assisting the support and growth of the local honeybee population. Each hive provides a home for up to 50,000 bees at the height of the season.

Each year, 42 hectares of nectar and pollen rich grass is grown providing an immediate foraging area for the bees. Additionally, apiary is located within a dedicated area of 3 hectares of wild bird seed containing several varieties of clover and seeds to feed the wild birds throughout the year. The apiary is managed by local Beekeeper, Janet Jackson, who is also Secretary of Durham Beekeeper’s Association.
