Beekeeping Open Day in Association with Stradbally Hall
Dunamaise Beekeepers will be holding an open day at their apiary on the Stradbally Hall Estate on Saturday August 16th from 11 am to 4 pm.
There will be an observation hive with glass walls through which visitors will be able to see the Queen and the bees at work. All of the bees in the hives are Native Irish Honey Bees as Dunamaise Beekeepers is working hard to ensure their survival and flourishing. Stradbally Hall is a conservation area for our native bees. The beekeepers will also have a variety of honeys, candles, soaps and other products to purchase. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about both the ancient craft of beekeeping and the bees themselves! And it's free!
Historic Houses of Ireland would like to thank Dunamaise Beekeepers for opening the Apiary as part of the Heritage Open Doors initiative.
To get to the Apiary from Stradbally:-
From Main Street, turn onto Court Square at Dunne's Pub and continue on straight on over the narrow bridge for about a kilometre until you see the signs for the Apiary which is on the right.
