Bee happy!
The world needs bees. They and similar pollinators fertilise at least 75% of the world’s food crops – but loss of habitat, pesticides and disease have seen their numbers decline drastically in recent decades. In the UK alone, last year’s severe winter led to the demise of a third of all England’s honeybee colonies.
In June of this year, the UK government responded by launching a ‘bee action plan’ – an urgent review into the crisis facing both bees, and other crucial pollinators, followed by a pledge to introduce a ‘national pollinator strategy’. “Pollinators play a vital role in the security of our food supply and the quality of our natural environment," said Lord Rupert de Mauley, minister at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. "In safeguarding their future, we can secure our own."
It’s something James and Kate, and their team at the Pipe and Glass, feel very strongly about. They’re doing their bit by growing masses of beefriendly herbs in the gardens at the Pipe – and the bees are paying them back by buzzing around in their dozens.
“We have two young children, so are very aware of the fragile future of the planet,” says James. “Bees and other insects are crucial to keep our crops growing; not just the crops we eat, but also the crops which feed the animals which then become part of our food chain.”
And we mustn’t forget that honeybees also produce – you’ve guessed it! – honey, a much-loved ingredient at the Pipe, not least in Two Chefs, the beer James and the Star at Harome’s Andrew Pern developed with the Great Yorkshire Brewery: it’s flavoured with honey and lemon thyme.
Want to do your bit to attract bees, and grow some delicious herbs at the same time?

Honey, honey…
Honey is one of the most ancient and revered of foods – not for nothing did the Old Testament refer to the Promised Land as ‘flowing with milk and honey’, a phrase which is used to this day to signify fertility and ease.
