Well done to 20 ‘newbees’ who completed RDBKA’s 2-day Beekeeping Experience Weekend at Foxglove Covert! Some real surprises this year, not least the weather, but also 6 live Royal births in the hand! Hoping some will ‘get the bug’ and join RDBKA’s Winter Beginners’ Courses.👏🐝🐝

These trees now form part of the @QGCanopy, a tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty's Platinunm Jubilee in 2022.
There was a fantastic turn out including lots of regular volunteers and students from the Personalised Learning College, Northdale Horticulture.

Foxglove volunteers have kindly planted over 300 trees donated The Woodland Trust.
A mixture of broadleaved species were planted including Sessile Oak, Field Maple, Wild Cherry, Rowan & Grey Willow in an area decimated by Ash dieback.
