Kay Phillips visits the Dower House In Heaton Park and talks with Lena Crowe of the Manchester and District Beekeepers Association on the number of beekeepers in the Manchester region, approximately 270 members. They also discuss what the bees are feeding on throughout the year in the Heaton Park area. In Kersal Vale in Salford, Richard Searle talks with beekeeper Jack Hobbs about how the damp weather has affected his bee colonies and then shows Richard his machine that extracts honey water from the hive frames to make a honey beer. Back at Heaton Park, Lena conducts a beekeeping training session and gives Kay 4lb of honey to use in the Brew Wild Project. |
