We have our very own bee hive. It is located at the rear of the church grounds, beyond the graves and we hope to produce our own ‘St John’s Honey’. The bees can travel up to 3 miles to collect pollen. We are grateful to our Authorised Lay Minister, John Shaw who helps our church be an ‘ECO Church’ as we protect our environment and the beautiful world God gave us.
