honeybees at buckfast abbey with clare densley
With bees of all types under threat, come and hear what they are doing at Buckfast Abbey. It is likely that bees were kept at Buckfast Abbey from medieval times – not just for honey, because beeswax was used for candles, which burn with a pure flame befitting for the house of God. That is why after work began on rebuilding the Abbey in 1882, honeybees were brought back and have remained here ever since.
