Fascinating Assignment for Bee L Bee

The University of Sussex has recently completed a £250,000 facility on the edge of their campus at Falmer dedicated to honeybee biology and beekeeping. Students will be offered the first degree in beekeeping which will also include the study of other 'social' insects such as ants and wasps.

In addition to producing honey and wax, honeybees are major pollinators of agricultural and wild plants and many important biological questions can be studied in this one species.

BLB Surveyors provided Building Surveying Services during the construction of the unit, which comprises apiaries, a research laboratory, offices, a workshop and space for 10 observation bee hives.
