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.
