Laddingford Beekeepers

Earlier this month our Apiary Manager was able to capture a swarm of bees using the Bee Vac. Here is a video showing how it was done. youtu.be/kiSAo5A6CaI

It's buzzing at the Gardens today.

Everything is set for a great event here at The Gardens in Yalding. Come and visit and see the bees and browse the stalls.

What's a swarm worth in February? This was in the village today feb 17. Collected by another beekeeper. Starvation swarm perhaps?
