In every one of Sussex’s contrasting landscapes, we’re seeing wild bee populations shift and adapt against a background of decline. Through ten species – some gone for good, some back after time away, and some here for the first time – James Power gives us a snapshot of nature at a worrying point in time.
James has been immersed in nature conservation for over 40 years. He’s worked for the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, the National Trust, Defra, the National Parks department in Malawi, and the Sussex Wildlife Trust, where he headed up the land management team for eleven years. He has spent the last three years writing The Bees of Sussex, a deep dive into every one of the 229 species recorded here.
Cost £2.50
Suitable for adults and accompanied children over 14

This event has been made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to fund an exhibition 'Guermonprez's Legacy - the Gilbert White of Bognor' which runs from 14 December 2034 - 31 December 2025 and an event programme through 2025.
