Join the buzz at bee-keeping event

A special event about bees and bee-keeping is being held in Hassocks on Saturday, May 4.

South Downs Nurseries are hosting the all-day event, which is being organised with Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint, Keymer and Ditchling Transition Group (HKD).

There will be talks, demonstrations and stalls from 9am to 5pm. The event has been organised in response to news that bees are in serious trouble. Their numbers have fallen dramatically in recent years, affected by disease, chemicals and habitat loss.
