Beaufort Beekeepers were represented at the 'Knowing Nature in Autumn' event held at the Killarney House and Gardens on the weekend of 28th/29th of September. Tuddy and Michael provided lots of information to the public including various components of a national beehive, honeycomb, honey and a working glass beehive where the visitors could examine the bees in action and identify the queen when she graced us with her presence. Other events that took place were... information on saving seeds from plants and trees; a guide on how to identify wild flowers; a demonstration on butter-making; a screening of a documentary about the Kerry cow; and a mini bio-blitz. Other groups involved will include Clean Coasts, Genesis Bird Boxes, and the Irish Wildlife Trust, and the event also offered a number of drop-in family nature activities.
