Way Allotments in the summer, from March to September when the bees are
buzzing. Visitors are always welcome: A glass observation hive for the
curious who just want to look, a friendly atmosphere for everyone, and
spare bee-suits for the brave adventurous ones who want to enter into
the busy world of the honey bee. The year starts in grand style with the
February Beekeepers Dinner, to tell tall stories, laugh, dream of honey
and make plans for the years beekeeping.
