Honey bees and pollinators in Dulwich

Bell House is a volunteer led charity that provides creative learning for people of all ages and backgrounds. Our vision is to offer an opportunity to gather for learning, enjoyment and friendship in a special place.

Bell House

In the Bell House vegetable garden, Annie McGeoch will introduce the basics of beekeeping, describing life inside the hive, the biology and life cycle of honey bees, honey extraction and honey purity. While honeybees are doing well wild bees and all insect populations are declining. We will talk about ways we can promote the many species of bees, from planting for pollinators to food production in agriculture. It’s a huge subject for discussion in the garden surrounded by insects.During the evening, there will be an opportunity to look inside the three hives at BH and see what we have discussed, the queen, workers and drones. If the weather is rainy and cold we cannot open the hives so we can postpone until conditions are more favourable.Annie has been looking after honey bees for ten years, both her own and other peoples’ colonies around Dulwich. She is on the board of the London Beekeepers’ Association. The event will take place in the garden. Please bring wellington boots or equivalent and wear trousers. Participants will be lent protective bee suits. If the weather is good the event may be extended.T﻿ickets include a jar of Bell House honey to take home.Please do not attend if you are allergic to bee stings
