On Sunday June 12, our volunteer beekeepers Cerys, Sarah, Matthew and Jacky held a workshop at the Education Centre to discuss the ins and outs of beekeeping at the Palace.
They talked about the history of bees at Fulham Palace and why they've been reintroduced. They explained what goes on in the hive, what goes into looking after them and how honey gets from the hive to the jar.
The guests were then invited to watch the bees in action in the observation hive and to have a taste of the honey from last year's crop.
If you missed the workshop an 8oz jar of Fulham Palace honey is available to buy from the Museum Shop. Please click here for the Shop’s opening times.
If you would like to get involved with bee keeping at the Palace please do get in contact with Jacky and the other apiary volunteers on volunteer@fulhampalace.org
