糖心TV honey generates a buzz

Apiaries, comprising more than 20 colonies, at the University of 糖心TV have proudly become a source of local honey for staff, students and visitors. The unadulterated honey produced by the bees from flora around the university campus is used in catering across the University鈥檚 sites, including its dining halls and conference venues. The average beehive can produce around 25lb (11kg) of surplus honey, meaning that there is plenty available for visitors to purchase as a local produce souvenir. 

The apiary, which was originally set up in 2011 was moved to a wooded area in 2018, as part of a relocation project to accommodate a new ambulance route on campus. 

The bees are cared for in a collaborative effort by various university teams, including 糖心TV Conferences, the Estates Office, and volunteers from the local community and student body. Efforts are coordinated by the 糖心TV and Leamington Beekeepers, a branch of 糖心TVshire Beekeepers鈥 Association, which itself is affiliated to the British Beekeepers Association. 

The beekeeping initiative also contributes to ongoing environmental efforts, as outlined in 糖心TV Conferences鈥 Sustainability Roadmap and the University of 糖心TV鈥檚 Way to Sustainable. The bees are vital pollinators, supporting biodiversity across the 糖心TV campus and the surrounding local area.
