A Seminar exploring the therapeutic uses of honey bee products is set to take place in Tullamore this week.

The Tullamore Apitherapy Seminar, jointly hosted by Offaly Beekeepers Association and Lake County Beekeeper Association, will take place on Saturday, November 14, in the Bridge House Hotel, Tullamore, R35 K2T9 from 9am to 3pm.

The event will offer both beekeepers and curious members of the public an insight into the variety of complementary ways bee products can be used in health and wellbeing.
