Joint meeting with the Cambridgeshire Beekeepers' Association (NB Wednesday)

Dino Martins will talk about the relationship between honeybees and people.

Honeybees are one of the most familiar and widespread insects that are kept, managed, exploited and familiar to humanity. It is often said that ‘There is a crisis around bees’, but the reality is that overall honeybee numbers are actually increasing worldwide, the result of more intensive management, mass production and commercial trade of queens and colonies.

With examples drawn from around the world, this talk will highlight the complex, multi-faceted relationship we have with honeybees and explore how we can all play a role in better stewardship of the planet.

This talk is part of the Cambridge Natural History Society series.
