Manchester pilot
The project is being delivered by a Manchester-bsed beekeeper, Paul Peacock. To date over 100 people have attended beekeeping training including a number of Parks Officers from Manchester City Council 
who are interested in keeping hives in Manchester Parks. The Co-operative opened its first apiary to support practical training for new beekeepers in Wythenshawe Park in August.
As a result of this pilot, three million bees will be introduced on allotments across Manchester by summer 2010. The project will be expanded to London and Scotland in 2010.
