Great 'buzz' around Laois with the grand reopening of local apiary!
There is a 'hive' of activity in Abbeyleix as the Laois Beekeeping Association prepare for their grand reopening!
A Laois beekeeping group are excited to invite locals to the opening of their new apiary.
The Laois Beekeeping Association have been working on the updating of their Abbeyleix apiary since 2024, and are proud to hold the official reopening on May 25.
"Last year we commenced work on the apiary and cleared the site and prepared the groundwork," a representative said.

The grand opening of the new and improved apiary was set to take place last October, however this was postponed due to stormy weather.
The beekeeping association promise light refreshments, and samples of their apiary honey!
