Hive.coop online community has now closed

We have decided to close Hive.coop from 13 July 2011.


We have found that the majority of our members and customers prefer to join us on Facebook and Twitter where we have been having many interesting conversations and sharing some great news and views.


We've added a discussion function to our membership website at www.co-operative.coop/membership, where members can use the same details to login as they do for Hive.


We have also added ‘your comments’ functionality to some of our online magazine pages at www.co-operative.coop/magazine, and will shortly be launching a network for our Elected Members.


For users who have established active Groups on Hive.coop, we believe they will benefit more from moving their Group to an established social networking site.


Regular bloggers will no doubt have their preferred blogging sites, but we'd welcome your thoughts on our social networking sites. Visit www.facebook.com/TheCooperative to find out how to stay in touch with us, our customers and members.


We would like to assure any Hive.coop users that their personal details will be no longer be retained by The Co-operative Group once the site has closed.
