Local bees enthusiast Paul Leighton  has completed his first exam with the South Kildare Beekeepers Association, and was presented with his certificate of membership of the Irish Beekeepers Association CLG on Friday, writes Brian Byrne.

Paul has set up his own Facebook page for his bee-related activities, in which he produces honey from the Apis Mellifera Mellifera (Irish Native Bee) in Kilcullen, for family and friends.

The SKBA was founded in 1930, and is based in Athy, with meetings on the first Thursday of every month in the Church of Ireland Parish Centre.

The organisation will be hosting a Beekeeping for Beginners course in early 2019, and further details are available here.
