Six Cork towns buzzing with bee-friendly pollinator plans

It's going to be the 'Bee's Knees' in terms of providing an ecological lifeline to one of the most important insects on the planet and will come with the added bonus of brightening up six towns in Co Cork.

Carrigaline, Kinsale, Bantry, Macroom, Kanturk and Fermoy are set to become more bee-friendly with the roll-out of Cork County Council’s new 'Pollinator Plans'. These plans guide the council’s management of publicly owned spaces within the towns, to ensure bees and other insects that helpfully pollinate our flowering plants, are encouraged and supported.
