Helen Tworkowski has been keeping bees in West Devon for more than 20 years. She has now retired from a career in social care, although she started out in science. She now finds herself busier than ever learning about not only honey bees, but the threats and opportunities in a changing landscape.
Helen’s talk looks at nepotism and the mechanism for creating after swarms or casts. It is aimed at beekeepers who understand the basics of swarming but want to know more.

World Bee Day 2024

apiarymanager Bee Health, Education & Training, Environment, Events, National Bee Unit, PBKA, Stories of Interest

Bees are so important to the health of our planet that they have their own special day.

World Bee Day takes place on 20 May each year, and its aim is to spread awareness of the significance of bees.

Bee campaigners also ask people everywhere to do more to help and protect the special insects.

The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) is urging everyone including governments, private companies, researchers and consumers to take action to help save the popular pollinators.
