Last week we were graced with another visiting bee expert. But this time, it’s a more domesticated variety we were hunting for – the honey bee.
David O’Carroll, a cornerstone member of the Gower Honey Co-operative, makes regular visits to the beehives kept on St Madoc’s land. Visitors to our site often don’t realise that we keep bees here since we tuck them out of the way to make sure children can’t bump into them by accident. But we actually now have four hives in all, and David has been looking after the bees here for two years.
Here he is, talking a bit about the work he does and what’s going on with the hives kept on our land.
As mentioned in the video, we will be celebrating Apple Day on Sunday 19th October this year. Come and join us from 2pm to 5:30pm to celebrate the humble apple (and enjoy some homemade apple related produce). Hopefully, the Cooperative will be able to provide us with some St Madoc honey on the day as well.
Just turn up on the day or, if you want more info, contact Sarah Leedham at St Madoc Centre, info@stmadoc.co.uk / 01792 386 291 first. Our address: St Madoc Centre, Llanmadoc SA3 1DE
