Hall will be a hive of activity for Llanasa Bee Festival

Llanasa Bee Festival is all set to take place later this month.

Llanasa Village Hall will be a hive of activity on Saturday, May 14 for a special and fun-packed conservation event which will take place between 11am and 3pm.

To whet appetites, the village hall will also be hosting the “Honeypot” pop-up café with home-made cakes (many with honey inspired recipes) and Free Trade refreshments.

The event is hosted by Llanasa Conservation Society with support from Transition Holywell & District, North Wales Wildlife, Friends of the Earth Cymru, the Flintshire Beekeepers Association, local beekeepers, local schools, Glyndwr University and many other local organisations and individuals.

It promises to be an engaging and informative experience of celebration and learning.

All set for Llanasa Bee Festival

Along with this, there will also be lots of things to do for children at the Messy Church and games in the village hall car park, as well as a silver band and the opportunity to learn some Welsh country dancing.

As most people are aware, bees and other pollinators are under extreme pressure and their populations are in serious decline, which is something that will affect us all.

As a part of a whole array of interactive and educational stalls, there will be a chance to “meet the bees” with friendly beekeepers and for people to find out which are the best plants, shrubs and trees they can cultivate to help these precious insect friends.

There will be a raffle with prizes, a children’s best costume competition based on friendly insect themes, plant stalls and other stalls.

Admission is free admission, while there will be free advice and a free packet of seeds for people to take home and grow in their own garden.
