pose for a pic with Pat Deering TD and Minster for Minister of State for Food, Forestry and Horticulture Andrew Doyle TD. They were only too happy to take away some delicious Killedmond Honey!

A fine cake of beeswax!

The Beekeepers had a fantastic day in the beautiful village of Rathanna at the Blackstairs Farming Group Showcase. The sun was shining, the atmosphere was wonderful and our observation hive was a hit! The Beekeepers’ tent was as busy as a beehive all day with people of all ages stopping for a chat and a good look at the bees and their queen. We even got chatting with Pat Deering TD and Minister Andrew Doyle TD and posed for a photo (above).
