It has been buzzing in the Friary Care garden this week – quite literally!
A colony of bees decided to make their home on the garden back wall which was absolutely fascinating to watch.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t practical to have them take up residency with us, so we called upon a local bee expert called Nick Knight from the Weymouth & Dorchester Beekeepers Association.
He safely collected the bees and has re-homed them in a new hive near Sutton Poyntz and The White Horse, where he hopes they will make a new colony and start producing honey.
We have made a donation of £50.00 to the local bee keepers association as a thank you gesture for Nick’s help and his great sense of humour when he visited!
