Royal approval of the work the PBKA is doing was forthcoming at the Royal Welsh Show.

At a reception held at the show to launch the latest round of funding by the Prince’s Countryside Fund; Paul Eades, Apiary Manager for the PBKA met HRH the Prince of Wales, for what turned out to be quite a long discussion on the Pembrokeshire Beekeeping Centre and the plight of the honeybee!

HRH demonstrated a real interest in bees and the work the PBKA was doing and was very pleased when he heard what we had achieved to date at Scolton Manor.

HRH then gave a short speech to all present to introduce the next round of funding by the PCF and just as he was leaving the room he turned to Paul once more, pointed a finger and said, ‘Keep the bees going!’

Thanks are extended to HRH the Prince of Wales and the Princes’ Countryside Fund for their kind invitation and ongoing support.
