Events & Activities
June 2024
Kirkheaton Tractor Fest
We had the pleasure of hosting a stall at our local Tractor Fest, and despite the dreadful weather, it turned out to be a fantastic experience! We were overwhelmed with visitors—families, children (some who came back multiple times!), and individuals—eager to learn about our bees and beekeeping.
Many were excited to try and spot our queen in the observation hive. It was heartwarming to hear the children cheer when they found the queen and to witness their curiosity while wearing our 'bee glasses,' modeled here by one of our local police volunteers!

Huddersfield Beekeeping Association 2024 Beginners:
Hive Frame Production
I was asked to come along to my local Beekeeping Association to demonstrate how I build our hive frames using a brad nailer instead of the traditional hammer and nails. It was great to see so many new members that were keen to learn and network.

Bee Keeping Show 2024
We attended The Bee Keeping Show held in the Telford International Centre and we were very busy networking and purchasing!
