Chelmsford ideas Festival beekeeping talk

Only 5 days to go to my talk ‘A year in beekeeping’, being given as part of the Chelmsford Ideas Festival 2015.

My talk will be on Friday 23rd October at Anglia Ruskin University, 7.30pm-9pm.

With the help of an empty hive and some slides I will take the audience through a year in beekeeping, dropping in some interesting facts and figures. I will also be challenging some of the claims around Manuka honey and explaining the science behind why, without bees, humankind simply wouldn’t survive.

Albert Einstein said it much better than I ever could:

“If all the bees disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have 4 years of life left.”

What’s more, it is free to come along, but booking is necessary to ensure no one is disappointed on the door. Book here or at www.anglia.ac.uk/community or call 01245 684723.

I will also have some honey and natural hive products for sale.

It’s time for the Chelmsford Ideas Festival 2015, running from 19th October to 1st November. There is a wide range of events being held across the City, including one from me.

The theme for this year is ‘connect’ and I am giving my talk ‘A year in beekeeping’, encouraging people to connect with nature.

With the help of an empty hive and some slides I will take the audience through a year in beekeeping, dropping in some interesting facts and figures. I will also be challenging some of the claims around Manuka honey and explaining the science behind why, without bees, humankind simply wouldn’t survive.
