If you haven’t heard of the Bee House, it’s Oxfordshire’s largest co-working space, which gained its name after it was discovered that the what3words square for the  Hive Café is ///feasted.cloud.honeybees, where people can feast in a brand-new café, work in the cloud and collaborate like honeybees.

The Bee House offers a range of small and medium-sized flexible office spaces, ranging from 97 – 2,574 sq ft (9 – 239m) as well as a 145-seat conference facility, phone booths and meeting rooms available to hire. Alongside the flexible offices and Buzz conference room facility, the Bee House will also be open to small groups and individuals seeking a workspace with a buzz through the Honeycomb co-working memberships, designed to suit a range of needs and working preferences.
