Each year we open the apiary to members of the public for our annual Open Day. Everyone is welcome, especially families, and admission is free.

You can access a wide range of information on bees and pollination, speak informally to our members about keeping bees & honey production and safely watch bees at work in our observation hive!

In addition, we sell honey from the bees at our apiary, have fun and educational activities for children, welcome local artisans who offer bee-related items, sell plants and (of course!) have tea and homemade cakes!

This year Tim Pond, a local artist, educator and author, will be in attendance. Specifically aimed at children, Tim will be providing a live drawing demonstration of bee anatomy at 2.30pm. For more information and examples of Tim's work visit Tim's website www.timpond.me or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/timpond.art.

Do please come along to our next Open Day and support your local Beekeeping Association. We look forward to seeing you!
