Every year our association attends quite a few small and large public events.
At these events we chat to many people and show them real honeybees in an observation hive and they can see the equipment we use for beekeeping.
We have honey and many other products of the hive on sale including our ‘Bee Pack’. This contains leaflets on bees, bee-friendly flowers/shrubs to plant, packet of wildflowers and honey recipes. We also sell books, cards and solitary bee nests.
September – Pinner Fete
October 3rd to 9th we are holding our second HONEYBEE EXHIBITION at the Cow Byre, Ruislip following the success of last year’s one.
During this week the public will be able to attend various talks, learn all about bees and what they do for us and what people can do to help the honeybees and other pollinators like solitary bees. Children can have fun making beeswax candles and colouring. You can also sit and watch a very colourful and informative slideshow. This depicts the first bees, life in the hive, right through to the value of pollination.
On the first day John Randall MP with be opening the Exhibition at 10am.
