Beekeeping
If you are interested in a beekeeping course in South London, look no further: in the outdoors apiary space there is an active honeybee hive, which is used for teaching our FREE Introduction to beekeeping sessions.
Beekeeping at the farm has been conducted on a largely voluntary base. I hope this help and support will continue, and our work to encourage and develop beekeeping at Walworth Garden Farm continues so we are able to train and help more beekeepers.
In 2007/2008 we designed and constructed a new Apiary site and shed, this was designed with a living roof and bird boxes built into the eves of the roof. The roof is growing well and we had blue tits nesting in the boxes.
Inside the shed there is an observation hive, a way of dispalying safely what happens inside a honeybee hive, come and take a look at our open days!
London Beekeepers Association (LBKA)
The LBKA hold their monthly meetings here on the second Sunday of every month. These are informal meeting where beekeepers or aspiring beekeepers come to share their knowledge and experiences.
Other Activities
Over the last few years we have taken part in an array of local festivals. Taking our bees for display and informing people of the life and role of honeybees, bumble bees and solitary bees in pollination and biodiversity.
We have recently taken part in the Capel Manor City Farms Harvest Festival and got a third prize for our bee product display!
