Latest news about the apiary.
The Jone’s Locker has now been painted and the roof cleared of moss. The inside of the shed has been tidied and much rubbish thrown away. Two cupboards have been fitted – one for catering equipment and the other for Bee treatments.
The Honey harvest has been extracted and bottled and is on sale.
The AGM will be held at 2:00pm on the 7th November 2026 at
The South Devon Food Hub, Longcombe, Totnes TQ9 6PW
As the apiary is designed to be a place of teaching and learning (plus sometimes a bit of honey to sell!) there are always some rich areas for typical beekeeping problem solving.
4 members’ are now keeping their colonies in the upper apiary.
