Beekeeping Day - Hackney, from 10am to 5pm - A one-day introductory course that is designed to give a general understanding of the role of bees in supporting wildlife and agricultural production and a taster of what it would be like to look after bees.

Comment by Transition Kensal to Kilburn on April 7, 2010 at 17:04: Hello to the Bee Keeping group

K2K have received a grant to help set up a bee keeping project and help pay for training,hives etc.

If enough of us sign up to the training we could get it done locally and on site

So now that we've got the grant we need some keen volunteers to help set up and organise the project .

We will need to find a site, there is a potential one in Willesden cemetry or you may know of another one ? or you may be happy to host a beehive?

Please let me know if any of you would like to take this further,it will be a great opportunity and way of sharing knowledge and learning, very transition!!!

you can email me at
