Apiary

The Branch Apiary was opened in Hesketh Park in 2019. After a lot of hard work by members who kindly volunteered their time and energy the branch apiary continues to be a focus for members. Originally brambles were removed before a digger was brought in to level the site ready for laying down Mipec ground cover and bark chippings and then a hedge of Portuguese Laurels was planted, member volunteers continue to ensure that the apiary is kept clean and suitable for use. The apiary is a great asset to the club enabling us to provide practical training for new beekeepers.
