Monmouth Bee Festival

Children can enjoy face painting, seed ball making, and more, while adults browse stalls from local environmental charities, artisan crafts, and beekeeping organisations. Alongside beekeeping displays, willow weaving, homemade cakes, and refreshments, live music will keep the atmosphere buzzing throughout the afternoon. Don’t miss our fascinating talk on the secret life of the honey bee, taking place from 1–2pm and 2.30–3.30pm, fun, accessible, and perfect for all ages. Bees for Development believe in the power of bees to create sustainable livelihoods for people around the world. They see a world where bees, people and the planet are mutually benefiting from beekeeping. Where vulnerable communities around the world — including women, people living with disability and marginalised groups have the opportunity to support themselves with bees.
