Beekeepers should be appointed across County Kildare

Beekeepers should be appointed across County Kildare.

That’s according to two Labour councillors - Anne Breen and Mark Leigh.

They want Kildare County Council to “retain a designated beekeeper in each municipal district to assist estates taken in charge with the swarming and colonisation of bees during the swarming season May to August.”

The five municipal districts are effectively council sub-divisions and each has its own monthly meeting in addition to the monthly meeting of the full council.

They are Athy, Celbridge-Leixlip, Clane-Maynooth, Kildare-Newbridge and Naas.
