A big day for the Stormont estate honey bees who today moved temporarily to a new location while the situation with covid-19 evolves. They have moved to near the beekeepers home so they can be more easily accessed just in case there are movement restrictions or access difficulties for the beekeeper in the season. But look at the beautiful new location they have at 😀🐝 the world is upside down but I will carry on sharing with you updates throughout the season....

Honey tasting, herbal water bar and writing poetry about lovely HONEY 🐝😀 at led by artist as part of the wonderful exhibition. The young people learnt that honey is not just one condiment but there are millions of varieties tastes throughout the world - the taste of honey gives a clue as to where the bees have been foraging. the exhibition by and is meant to be activated by a series of tasting, performances, smell walks and talks! Making this a truly visceral experience for visitors to the gallery and participants @ Millennium Court Arts Centre
