BEE-KEEPING IN THE PARK
For anyone who suffers from the old itchy eyes and runny nose syndrome in the spring time, there’s good news here. Camilla Goddard from Capital Bee sells honey which has been harvested from local hives in the Park Cafe. A spoonful a day of local honey is said to be an excellent antidote to all those pesky things floating in the air which give us all the irritating symptoms of hayfever.
Camilla is running a course on bee-keeping in Queen’s Park over three weeks in June – Saturday 2nd, Saturday 23rd and Saturday 30th, starting at 10am. Places are limited so for anyone who’s interested give her a yell at camilla@capitalbee.co.uk OR queensparkhoney@gmail.com
