A gentle introduction to the art of bee-keeping and honey-making, from a long experienced and highly enthusiastic local expert. Using real hives,
Terry will explain and demonstrate:
the bees themselves - the natural workforce, the equipment - putting together a hive and preparing the protective clothing and tools the products - honey, wax, pollen, and propolis caring for the brood - health, reproduction, swarming etc. (photos taken during our very successful 2005 workshop) |
Terry Willis has kept bees for years and years, and is the Island's main ambassador of the art. He will talk endlessly about the subject and regularly converts people into passionate members of the local association.
Most members of the previous workshop we ran have gone on to become bee-keepers and some have won awards for the quality of their honey!
Terry gives a fascinating display into a whole new world of traditional country tradecraft. |
