dirac Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hi there, as the title suggests: are there any bee keepers in the area? I tried searching the topic but all I found was a topic about the price of honey.I am considering starting a colony of honey bees in my garden, and was wondering if you have any advice RE neighbors, etc. I have some experience in it, but obviously am wary about doing so because of neighbors and feeding issues.Thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/71936-any-beekeepers-in-peckhamed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
titch juicy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The small wildlife garden within Peckham Rye Park has a beehive. I'm sure there are some notes next to it to. Don't know if that will help at all. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/71936-any-beekeepers-in-peckhamed/#findComment-892254 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nxjen Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I found this thread from about five years ago but you should be able to glean some information from it.http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,440809Judging from the number of bees that have visited my lavender this year - fascinating to watch - there must be hives not too far away.I guess you've seen the London Beekeepers website? http://www.lbka.org.uk/home.html Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/71936-any-beekeepers-in-peckhamed/#findComment-892291 Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclecticgal Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 There's a great resource in Kennington Park called Bee Urban. Barnaby there keeps his own bees, but will also help people...

raasaygirl Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm in a group of beekeepers at Glengall Wharf Garden (Burgess Park.) We have five hives and there are two there owned by an experienced local beekeeper who has been helping us learn how to look after our hives. We absolutely welcome anyone who wants to come along. We meet on Sundays at 3.30 at the moment. PM me if you would like any more details.(64 Glengall Road, SE15 6NF) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/71936-any-beekeepers-in-peckhamed/#findComment-892502 Share on other sites More sharing options...

soyamocha3 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 There is someone on here called thedulichbeekeeper - find him under items for sale. He is selling all his equipment for ?600 but he may be able to give you a few pointers. He is selling for family reasons, not honey problems!!! Hope this helps Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/71936-any-beekeepers-in-peckhamed/#findComment-893650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaywalker Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 There is a great recent novel (sic!) about life inside a bee colony - The Bees by Lalline Paull. One of the best novels I've read this year and made me want to be far more focused on making my garden bee friendly.
