Set-up at honey-house something no Irish beekeeper could aspire to

Beekeeper, Mary O’Riordan is amazed at the amount of honey produced by bee farms in Lower Saxony, Germany, which she recently visited.

On the first Sunday in September a group of Irish beekeepers visited the Celle Institute of Apiculture, in lower Saxony in north west Germany, for its open day, which is held every year.

The County Cork Association has had Dr Otto Boecking from this Institute visiting here twice to give talks, in 2008, and again in 2015.
