Summary:
Once believed to be extinct in Britain, the Black honey bee has been re-introduced to Abberton Reservoir to help boost numbers.
Abberton Reservoir is now home to three hives with black honey bee queens, with the aim of establishing more colonies in the surrounding areas and helping this native species to thrive again.
The Black honey bee, or European dark bee (Apis mellifera mellifera) is native to the UK and ideally suited to our climate. It was thought to have been wiped out in the early 1900s but since then it was re-discovered in small pockets of the UK.
