Participants will be introduced to the ancient art of beekeeping and will learn about the science of honey bee reproduction and honey production.

A visit to view the hives will be arranged when the weather is suitable. Participants will learn about this fascinating little insect, its habitat, the impact it has on the natural world, how it makes and stores honey and what you might do as a beekeeper or gardener to help the honeybee survive in an increasingly alien world.
