Dear Association Member,

It’s that time of year again to save money, by browsing the Kings Discounted Seed Catalogue and decide what to order to plant next year.

Please see notice boards at each site for details.

The BBKA has copies of its useful leaflet, ten favourite flowers for honey bees in small gardens, available:

The A4 double-sided leaflet has now been discounted to 1p each

@BumblebeeTrust So few bumblebees this year, the least we've ever seen. 😥

[Alton Allotments @AltonPlots]

Make space for nature on your plots - bug houses and flowers a good start.

Something has gone wrong for insects, says charity. https://t.co/dym7vfb7E2

Has anyone noticed how few bees there are this year?

#Alton Allotment Association is holding a coffee morning during Allotment week.

On 18th August from 11.00 to 1.00pm on the Wooteys site by the Container. Please join us if you can. It's good to meet up & chat about how we are getting on with our plots & to learn from each other.

The best way is to use the 'Asian Hornet Watch' app to record and report any sightings. The app is available for both Apple and Android devices. Photos and videos can also be sent by email to: [email protected]

[Alton Allotments @AltonPlots]

It is crucial that any possible sightings are reported so experts can take quick and effective action to eradicate Asian Hornets.
