Hamilton Square: Intro to Beekeeping: Honey Ha rvesting DESCRIPTION:This workshop will take you step by step through the honey extr action process on our working hives in the Make Hamilton community garden\ nBOOK HERE (£40)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe bees at Make Hamilton have been worki ng hard over the summer months\, gathering nectar and pollen and building up stores of honey in their hives. The honey will be harvested at the end of summer\, and this workshop gives you the opportunity to experience the harvesting first-hand.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe workshop is split into two parts. First\, we will introduce you to how a hive works\, and how the bees store their honey. We will talk through the cycle of honey production\, and the life of a colony through a typical year. We’ll pull on beekeeping veils and head outside where you’ll have the chance to look inside a hive to see the bees working on their honeycomb.\n\nIn the second part of the work shop we will return indoors to experience the process of extracting honey by spinning honeycomb frames. You will handle honeycombs\, and experience the smells and stickiness that go with that! You’ll get to use the extra ctor\, and watch the honey being spun out of the frames then collected for bottling.\n\nThe session is very interactive\, and will respond to the qu estions and interests of participants. The session is led by John\, who ha s kept bees for many years\, and is the resident beekeeper at Make.\n\nAll equipment/ protective bee suits will be provided\, but please come wearin g long sleeved tops\, full length trousers and closed shoes (i.e. no sanda ls).\n\n \;\n\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2023/08/https___cdn.evbuc_.com_images_553458079_69276292103_1_original.j pg LOCATION:Make Hamilton\, 2 Hamilton Square\, Cleveland Street\, Birkenhead\ , Wirral\, CH41 6ND\, Wirral\, United Kingdom GEO:53.394128;-3.01466 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=2 Hamilton Square\, Clevela nd Street\, Birkenhead\, Wirral\, CH41 6ND\, Wirral\, United Kingdom;X-APP LE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Make Hamilton:geo:53.394128,-3.01466 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20230326T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
