The Bee Story (fiction)
August 2022
The Bee Story, New Malden The Skep (old beehive) was the symbol of Malden and Coombe council and if you look around town you may see that the skep and bees are a symbol for various clubs and associations- including the Residents Society who are part this initiative, NMTCP. Over the last few years stories, some made up and some real, have been disseminated throughout the community by local beekeepers, environmentalists, historians and creatives who see the symbol of the bee as an inspiring motif on how communities can work together to create something wonderful, regardless of race or background. We also see it as a gentle reminder of the value local people place on nature and taking care of our Green spaces. Click here to read the Bee Story.
