'SOS For Honey Bees'
Flag created by members of the Cofton Women's Institute
Recycled Devon Flag, tent and fabric remnants, reused WI Shopping bag, wool, wire, tape, black plastic, net. Bamboo cane.

Group members have been busy making knitted bees and a cushion which feature in the Dawlish Bee-side T.R.A.I.L.

Our Bees highlight the need to protect honey bees as important crop pollinators, and to support the survival of local Devon bee keepers, and their bees.

SOS for Honey Bees
Honey bees play a vital role in the pollination of food crops and in our environment. In view of concerns about the accelerating decline in the UK honey bee population, we urge HM Government to increase funding for research into bee health.
