A great way to start 2026 in the Sanctuary! We met some very inspiring people during this Pat Divilly weekend retreat at the beginning of January.

Taking place at the Sanctuary this evening!

Our first guest speaker for January 2026 is our very own Professor Grace McCormack. Grace has been an active member of our club volunteering her time to educate beekeepers and the community about the Native Irish Honey Bee. She will give a presentation discussing the importance of protecting our native honey bee and what you can do to help.

A timely presentation as there is much talk on over wintered nucs for the coming season. It’s sure to be well attended so come along early to avoid disappointment. As always refreshments and a chat before hand too.

Reminder - guests are welcome but need to be with a club member and there is a €5 fee for attendance.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
