For the last lecture in the St Mary's Heritage Biodiversity series this
year, ‘Hive of activity - new studies of honey bees',
We are delighted to welcome Professor Francis Ratneiks from the
University of Sussex as the speaker.
Appearing recently on BBC One's ‘Country File’, he explained his
ground-breaking research into our dwindling bee population
including cracking codes of bee behaviour, especially the
mysterious "waggle dance".
Do join us at 7.30pm on Wednesday 15th September at St Mary
de Haura church in the centre of Shoreham to find out more.....
Think I may go to that...BBKA gave cash to this Prof for research.... so why waggle dance when queens not lasting a year - much more important to bee keeping, surely.
I will be polite, promise. Anyone in the area fancy joining me there??
