Paul Martin, founder of Bee Cafe CIC has partnered with us to realise his vision of a pollinator corridor between Ipswich- Woodbridge-Sutton, providing regular feeding station for bees in particular. As wildlife studies show that bee communities continue to decline, his goal is to prevent bees becoming isolated and being lost. 

​Bee Cafe CIC have won sponsorship from Woodbridge Town and East Suffolk Councils to encourage residents to take part. Council-subsidised 'plant packs' of 12 bee-friendly Katie's Garden perennials are available to purchase at a subsidised rate to those living within a defined 'Bee corridor' area.

The first packs of bee-friendly plants were collected on World Bee Day with an event at the nursery in Newbourne.  Customers, including local residents and councillors also put a bee 'pin' in the map to track progress in building the pollinator pathway.
