MEMBERS of the public will have a chance to find out more about beekeeping at an event being held in Cardross this weekend.
The popular Geilston Garden in the village will play host to members of the Helensburgh Beekeepers’ Society on Sunday, September 5, providing information about bees and a mini hive for demonstrations, as well as jars of honey for sale.
They will be present along with the Friends of Geilston’s monthly pop-up cafe from 11am-3pm – with honey set to feature in the home baking supplied by members of the Friends.
There will be a short performance by the Helensburgh Oratorio Choir at 2pm.
