A team from the Royal Surrey County Hospital Allergen Immunotherapy Clinic visited the Guildford Beekeepers’ teaching apiary here at Birtley on Saturday to get to know the bees better. After an informative talk, it was into protective suits and up to the hives to take a closer look at these fascinating creatures. We are proud to call ourselves the home of Guildford Beekeepers and to support the important work they do educating people about the essential role bees play in our lives and the risks they face.

A list of all raffle winners is available on request.

Friday 26th – Saturday 27th – Sunday 28th May 10am-4pm

No need to pre-book entry to gardens. Pay on gate. Workshops can be booked on Events pages.
