Helping out
To be written...
This page will contain some tips for having a good visit to our apiary if you come to help out with the bees sometime.
What to wear
- I have a few bee suits and gloves in decent condition. I need to list the sizes here.
- The best thing to wear on your feet are wellies. If you don't have those, wear boots that cover your feet with long socks. Bees like to get around your ankles! We can use tape to stop them getting in.
- Try not to wear deodorant, perfume, aftershave, or even shower with strong-smelling shower gel or soap before the visit.
Medical issues
- If you are allergic to bee stings, reconsider coming. I don't carry an EpiPen.
