As well as feeding on the wildflowers and trees that grow across the 42‑acre Rolls‑Royce site, the bees can forage on the manufacturing plant's sedum-rich living roof, which at around eight acres (3.2 hectares) is the largest in Britain. Image Credit: Supplied

Potential candidates will be invited to attend an introductory session; those selected will then receive training in beekeeping techniques and equipment, funded by the company, to prepare them for their new role. The beekeepers will work in the Apiary in their own time at weekends on a voluntary basis. Image Credit: Supplied
