Steve Cotney, local beekeeper

Steve is based in Guildford, Surrey and has about 60 hives

“Bees pollinate about one-sixth of the world’s flowering plants and some 400 species of its agricultural plants. Poorly pollinated plants produce few, poorer quality and lower yield fruits and seeds with detrimental consequences to the economy. One of the few farm activities that can actually increase yields, not just protect existing ones from loss, is to encourage good pollination by bee management.”
