🍯 Did you know that there are beekeeping societies at Cambridge? This year, the @kingsbeekeeping_ society at @kings.college collected 84 jars of honey which will go to everyone who helped out. President Theo (4th year medic), gave us a quick rundown of a year in the life of a beekeeper: “We started the season by purchasing two colonies from a beekeeper in the local region. After transporting them to the College apiary, we kept a close eye on their development. One of the hives was in the process of re-queening, and after two weeks we finally spotted the new queen and were able to mark her. The other hive grew quickly and started producing honey early in the season. “The bees took well to our apiary, thanks to the new wildflower meadow and the flowers in the Fellows’ Garden. We organised weekly inspections with Society members, and our day-to-day work was made a lot easier by our new shed which was built last autumn. I’d like to especially thank the Gardeners, the Maintenance team, the Senior Tutor and every other College member who helped make this possible. It’s been a massive help and I hope it will continue to help the Society in the future. The harvest itself went very well. We were once again able to use the Old Garden Hostel kitchens to extract honey, and it was great to see a lot of Society members, including several King‘s alumni, return to Cambridge to help out.” If you're a beekeeper at a College, the @kingsbeekeeping_ would love to hear from you 🤙 📸 King’s College Beekeeping Society #UniversityOfCambridge #CambridgeUniversity #Cambridge #CambridgeUni #Bees #Honey #Beekeeping #Honeybee #CambridgeAlumni #CambridgeStudent
