On Bank Holiday Monday, the 5th May, Rugby Beekeepers attended the Rugby Spring Fair. This was the first time the event had been held since Covid arrived and it was great to be able to take part again.

During the day there was a constant flow of visitors to the stand


As always the observation hive is a favourite especially with the younger visitors


The queen is definitely in there and the people lucky enough to find her went away with a sticker!

We also had a good selection of our members honey for sale and during the day many jars were sold. A lot of people wanted some as they felt it helped with hayfever. This may be due to our honey not being heavily filtered, so pollen grains from the local flora are in it.
