Bees – and the honey that they magically produce – have fascinated us since prehistoric times, the Stone Age, the Egyptian beekeepers, and into the present day. Come see what it takes to be a beekeeper, the equipment you’ll need to set up your first hive, how to add bees to your hive, the roles each bee plays in the hive, and how to extract honey. You’ll also learn the critical role that honeybees play in pollinating many of the fruits and vegetables we eat every day!
Our presenter, John Hedley, is the director of the Worcester Beekeepers Association and a local beekeeper.
