20 May is World Bee Day – we couldn’t get by without bees at Martineau Gardens.

Our volunteer beekeeper Sam Walker is passionate about bees and is on a mission to help would-be beekeepers to take their first steps. That’s why she’s organised a special beekeeping experience in September.

Likely to be taking place in September 2022, there will be two 2-hour sessions, a chance to experience what it’s like to be a beekeeper including a good look in a bee hive. (Beekeeping suits wuill be provided!) One in the morning, one in the afternoon – just 6 places on each and the cost will be in the region of £20. Booking in advance will be essential. To register your interest at this stage, send an email to info@martineau-gardens.org.uk and we will notify you when tickets go on sale.
