Highgate Cemetery Bee-keeper, Ian Creer, will talk about honey bees in general and in particular, those resident in Highgate Cemetery.
Ian will cover the differences between honey bees and other bees native to the UK, our relationship with them (including their importance to agriculture and the environment) and the life-cycles and roles within the honey bee hive. He will also discuss the threats to honey bees, the causes and remedies, and compare honey bees in the countryside to those in the City; in particular, those in the cemetery, their forage and the type of honey they produce compared to honey from other sources.
Ian will be bringing along a demonstration hive.

The original hippy musical HAIR made its debut on the London stage in Autumn 1968.
Fifty years on, some of the original cast members get back together to talk about their experience of being in the very first rock musical.
Paul Nicholas, Annabel Leventon and Peter Straker have all gone on to be major stars in British theatre.
We are hoping that other cast members from HAIR will join Paul, Annabel and Peter. Come and listen to them talk about that wonderful period of love and peace. Help us recreate the Age of Aquarius and Let The Sunshine In!
There will also be a few old film clips to remind everyone what a hippy happy time we enjoyed in the Swinging Sixties.
Hosted by John Plews
