About Sustainable Bungay
Sustainable Bungay was formed at the end of a Climate Change conference organised by Emmanuel Church in 2007. Since then we've screened films, organised a local food conference, a Give and Take Day and a Carfree Day. More recently we've held an Energy Day at the library and prepared a community carbon audit.
If you'd like to get involved feel free to sign up for our google group or have a look at our calendar and come to an event.

Bungay Garden Centre goes Bee-Friendly!
Posted on May 17, 2012 | No CommentsThis week, Bungay Community Bees (BCB) launched their “Get Your Garden Buzzing” garden centre project, at Bungay’s own Three Willows Garden Centre.

Building bee and bug abodes
Posted on February 24, 2012 | 2 CommentsOur group may have an unashamed love affair with honey bees, but we have come to realise they are part of so much more. They are, by dint of being generalists and by numbers, a really important pollinator insect, however they are not always the... -

Fondant candy
Posted on February 16, 2012 | 2 CommentsAfter the recent cold spell it was a huge relief to see the bees flying today. There was an audible buzz as I approached the hive and I have to admit all thoughts of letting the children help me or use the stethoscope for... -

Growing up in a depleted landscape one thinks that that is normal..’ Oliver Rackham The Suffolk Naturalists’Society hosted the Linking Landscapes conference in Autumn 2011.

Salve Sunday
Posted on January 22, 2012 | No CommentsDecember 2011 saw Bungay Community Bees coming together in my kitchen to make a healing yarrow salve, utilizing beeswax left over from honey processing. We were led by Mark, who proved to be both knowledgeable and entertaining – read about the Plants for Life talks, walks and... -
Further evidence to condemn neonicotinoid pesticides
Posted on January 21, 2012 | No CommentsThe following has been sent to us by Friends of the Bees: News just in provides compelling evidence that Bayer’s neonicotinoid pesticides are a significant cause of bee deaths in Britain and elsewhere, supporting the case that we have been making for years. The British...
