Seeds are dropping now, so this weekend's long read is our guide to collecting wildflower seeds.

If you want to learn how to safely source, harvest, and use native, local wildflower seed, this is for you.

August's seeds feed next year's bees!

We're going to the Seanad on Thursday! Come join us - whether you're a beekeeper or not! 2nd stage of Native Irish Honey Bee Bill. Proposes a ban on importation of non-native honey bees. This would really help protect native honey bees from extinction through hybridisation.
