CONSULTANT Stella Cubison will be talking about the importance of bees and other pollinators when she visits Hastings in May.

The expert, who works for the biotechnology company Koppert UK, will bring a live demonstration hive to Alexandra Park Greenhouse on Saturday, May 17, to illustrate her talk between 2 and 3pm, after the regular plant sales there. Visitors are invited to give a £5 donation.

Her talk coincides with International Bee Day on May 20, a global event to highlight the importance of beekeeping, sympathetic farming methods, and how to provide habitats for bees. May 20 is the birthday of Anton Jansa (1734-1773), the pioneer of beekeeping.
