Even if you’re not thinking of keeping bees yourself, you have probably read about the plight of the honeybee in the modern world, threatened by new pests and loss of habitat. Bees are key to pollinating plants and crops, and subsequent food production. The annual Honey Show is a great opportunity to meet your local beekeeping community and learn about the amazing world of bees. Come and find out more about the wonderful things they produce and the health properties of natural honey.
