Inside a beehive

Southill Solar's beekeeper, Tom Worsley, takes us on a tour of our Thermosolar beehive - the first of its kind in the UK - which uses solar power to kill the parasitic Varroa mite.

Southill Solar

Southill Community Energy is a Community Benefit Society, run by a community of members. We aim to encourage, inspire and empower local people and organisations to reduce their carbon emissions. Find out more about us.

Biodiversity

We’ve adopted an ambitious plan for biodiversity enhancement, and in the past year the site has undergone further habitat creation. Read the results of the third annual biodiversity survey of Southill Solar.

Now, more than ever, the world needs the spirit, leadership example, and actual emissions reductions that community energy projects like this embody.
