Meet the Bees is a rare chance to get up close to a working rooftop apiary with Roof Top Bees at Cherrytree Community Library, Blackburn.
About this Event

You’ll be suited up and supported to safely handle the bees in their apiary, while learning what’s really going on inside a hive. We’ll explore the honey and beeswax process, why bees matter so much for biodiversity and food, and what we can do (even in small ways) to support them.

It’s practical, fascinating, and a little bit magic.

Date: Thursday 18 June 2026
Time: 6.00pm to 7.30pm
Location: Roof Top Bees, Cherrytree Community Library, Blackburn


What to expect
  • A guided visit to a rooftop apiary with an experienced beekeeper
