Pop-up Plant Sale & Bee-keeping demo June 2024
Date posted: Monday 8th July 2024
First up, on a sunny June 16th was the pop-up plant sale, with a huge selection of tomato and other veg plants available.
Sales were brisk and Ruth’s team raised another £108 for RPA funds
A week later and it was even hotter, so parasols were up for a fascinating presentation about the honey bees that are kept on site.
RPA bee-keepers Jem and Rose were on hand to explain the set up of a national beehive, hive life and what is involved in keeping bees.
Then everyone was invited to ‘find the queen’ in the display case.
