A MONTH-LONG festival about the importance of bees is taking place in Barnsley.
Worsbrough Library will be a hive of activity after the Bees in Barnsley festival was chosen as one of 15 projects across the country to receive a Green Libraries grant.
It will celebrate all things bees and highlight how essential they are to the ecosystem.
Coun Caroline Makinson, cabinet spokesperson for public health and communities, said: “Bees in Barnsley project promotes the preservation of bee habitats, highlights the importance of looking after the environment, and gives people an opportunity to explore how they can make a difference in their own lives.
“We encourage residents to engage with the small steps, like planting bee-friendly flowers or using wildflower seed bombs to make a difference on a local level.
“Hopefully, working in partnership with local schools and organisations as part of this project will open up further opportunities to work together on future environmentally focused projects.”
