Trinity College Dublin’s plan 'bee' causes a buzz on campus

Researchers at Trinity College Dublin are asking the public to help name a Royal VIP after installing a beehive that will house thousands of honeybees on campus.

The ‘Name Our Queen Bee’ competition was launched yesterday in tandem with Trinity’s Campus Pollinator Plan, which supports the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan’s (AIPP) main objectives by making Trinity pollinator-friendly and raising awareness about pollinators.

The Trinity Campus Pollinator Plan will, along with a network of other green areas in Dublin, help restore urban sites that are important for a range of bee species in the centre of Dublin.
