About the event

Our pollinators are in peril; bumblebees, solitary bees and honey bees are all under threat from the modern-day onslaught of pesticides, habitat loss and intensive agriculture. Yet between them, the almost 300-species of UK bee, along with other pollinators, are responsible for more than a third of everything we eat.

This fascinating and richly illustrated talk will introduce many of the bee species found into the UK and explain how you can help to save them by creating a pollinator oasis in your garden - or window box, if that's all you have.

Richard Rickitt is one of the UK's best-known beekeepers and authors and is also co-editor of BeeCraft magazine which has been published since 1919 and is read by beekeepers and entomologists around the world.

The Baptist Church entrance is set back off the High Street, opposite the Coventry Building Society and close to the Queen Charlton turn off. Free parking in Ashton Way car park.

We will also be selling bird food, seasonal items, second hand books and greetings cards.
