Leamington beekeeping club in action

Members of the Canalside Community Bees club in Radford Semele met on Sunday to tend to their five hives of honeybees.

Courier reporter and beekeeping novice Sundari Cleal joined them and got kitted out in a bee suit to see what’s involved. See her video here.

Through the year, members can help with managing the bees, building hives, planting bee-friendly flora, harvesting honey and making use of hive products. Honey share members pay extra to get a share of the honey at harvest time.

The bees are kept on the site of Canalside Community Food, off Radford Road. To find out more, visit canalsidecommunitybees.blogspot.co.uk
