THE ARC IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY REAL BEEKEPERS. WE STARTED THE HIVE IN MAY 2017 WITH 10,000 HONEY BEES. OVER THE MONTHS THIS HAS GROWN TO AROUND 80,000 BEES WHO TRAVEL AS FAR AS 5 MILES TO POLLINATE CROPS AND COLLECT POLLEN TO MAKE HONEY. BEEKEEPING IS A VERY INTERESTING ENDEAVOUR WITH A HUGE LEARNING CURVE. WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE A NEIGHBOUR MENTOR WHO IS TEACHING US ALL THE INS AND OUTS OF BEEKEEPING.
