Buzzing bees, delicious honey and high quality wax products are among the delights you would bee mad to miss at the National Honey Show.

Now in its 82nd year, the show allows experienced beekeepers, novices and honey-lovers to come together for fascinating beekeeping lectures and workshops, plus an awful lot of the produce made by the flying creatures.

There are lectures to suit all beekeeping abilities, with special talks on offer for those in their first year of beekeeping.

Among the talks on offer over the weekend are monitoring the condition of a hive and the plight of the honeybee.

A number of workshops and demonstrations will also be held to aid exhibitors including preparing wax for a show and the marketing of honey products.

Outside of the lecture rooms, lovers of honey can sample the produce collected by other beekeepers and enter their own products to win awards, which are announced at the end of the show.

The first National Show of Bees and Honey was held in 1923 at the original Crystal Palace and, although there were no shows during the Second World War, they have continued until this day, held in October each year.
