SUSTAINABLE & ETHICAL BEEKEEPING / NOVEMBER 28 / ZERO CARBON, GUILDFORD

Honeybees are marvellous creatures. They’ve been around for millions of years – long before we arrived – and they, along with a range of other insects provide the vital service of pollinating many of the plants around us, including many of the plants that provide us with food. Find out about some of the ethical concerns raised by both beekeepers and non-beekeepers and look at how beekeeping can be practiced in a way that is sustainable for the bees and for our other pollinators at this informative workshop at Guildford’s Zero Carbon.
