Meet the Occombe Bees

20 Aug

Occombe Farm

Meet Occombe bee keeper Gerry Stuart and find out about these incredibly fascinating insects. Get close up to the bees and discover how far a bee can travel? How much honey they can produce and what is the bee waggle dance? Gerry will bring along some bees in an observation hive so you can safely view them up close, and you will be able to taste local honey.  You will also be able to ask any questions that you may have about bees or beekeeping. Kids, help us in the garden sow some wild flower seeds to help the Occombe bee and take some seeds home to help your garden bees!  Gerry will also be able to talk about the important 'black bee' conservation work partnership with the 'B4 Project' and Paignton Zoo.
