Wiltshire Hosts Free Bee and Honey Day to Honor Pollinators

Beekeepers are inviting the public to celebrate pollinators at a free event. Wiltshire Bee and Honey Day, organised by the Wiltshire Beekeepers’ Association, will be held on Saturday, October 10, at the Corn Exchange in Devizes. The event runs from 10am to 4pm and will showcase local honey, candles, mead, children’s activities, and public talks.

Sophie Butcher, chair of the Wiltshire Beekeepers’ Association, noted that beekeeping requires dedication but is rewarding, with membership steadily increasing. Members learn about bees, pollination, the environment, seasons, and supporting biodiversity. The event aims to inspire future beekeepers to establish new colonies across the county.
