World Bee Day (MON) is being celebrated by an ambitious North East nature project to help young dads become the next generation of beekeepers, with The Birds, Bees, Bikes and Trees project a collaboration between charity North East Young Dads & Lads (NEYDL), Newcastle University, and Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, which sees young dads in the region build their skills and confidence in areas such as habitat management and honey production. Four bee hives have been installed on the 138ft high rooftop of the Baltic, and will be available to train the young dads, and provide a safe home for around 160,000 bees in mid-summer, with The National Lottery Community Fund awarding over £584,000 to help fund the project.
