Vincent Kieran A member of the Armagh & Monaghan Beekeepers’ Association Vincent has kept his own hives for many years. There are estimated to be 2,200 beekeepers (mostly hobbyists) in Ireland maintaining approximately 24,000 hives. The motivation for keeping bees can varied – the love of honey, aiding pollination, health benefits, stress relief, education and even entertainment, but very few are producing honey on a commercial basis in Ireland.

TITLE: “Putting the buzz back into life”In Ireland there is a growing interest in keeping bees, with associations experiencing an increase in membership and interest in courses. Due to the Irish climate, honey production can be strongly influenced by the weather. Irish honey production can be up to an estimated 250 tonnes per annum with an estimated farm gate value of €2.75 million – but it’s still not enough to meet with consumer demand. Vincent will give a flavour of what’s involved in beekeeping.

We need to work on our own happiness and we need happiness in our work.

What if you could learn how to regulate your own nervous system – and even ‘read’ other nervous systems? – you can help yourself and others to feel safe, to think clearly, to work together and to generate creative solutions.
