A Year in the Life of a Beehive

Sunninghill Library

Saturday 5 July 2025, 2.30pm.

Discover the story of a year in the life of a beehive, the role and behaviour of the queen, drones and workers, feeding and general care of the hive. An instructive presentation for existing beekeepers, and a fascinating introduction to bees for adults and children to enjoy.

Local expert Glynis Morse has been keeping bees for nearly twenty years and her bees' honey has won numerous awards. She will bring her protective clothing, a virtual hive, a smoker, used combs and a jar of pollen. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and to handle the equipment.

The Life of a Hedgehog and its relationship to people

Sunninghill Library

Saturday 19 July 2025, 2.30pm.

In his refreshingly light-hearted style, Dr. Pat Morris will present scientific and down-to-earth information about one of Britain’s best-loved wild creatures, a bumbling and endearing animal - the hedgehog. However, the activities of humans and of other animals have reduced the population of hedgehogs. Find out why and what we can do to help.
