We operate on two sites:-
In the past we have held Winter Meetings in the upstairs function room at The Cricketers Public House on Grace Road in Leicester and still use this room for some of our committee (trustees) meetings.
|
However currently our Winter Meetings are held on the first Monday of the month, mostly lectures, at the Knighton Parish Centre... Church Lane, Knighton, Leicester, LE2 3WG
October through to April. The picture at right depicts Dave Cushman lecturing on the occasion that we used the facilities at the National Space Centre to demonstrate the uses of 'computers in beekeeping'. |

April til end of July, at Brooksby Bee Yard (on A607) just north of

Various demonstrations are staged at various shows and events. These often involve kitting the children out with bee suits and then teaching them at first hand on a hive of bees that is contained in our special 'bee proof' tent that has observation panels in the sides so that onlooker may view without the possibility of being stung. The picture at right shows a couple of young 'would be' beekeepers being shown what to do at first hand by Graham Law. Contact Information:-
