💫So grateful to Eimear Chaomhánach for her inspiring episode of The Power of Stories podcast! Eimear discusses her book, The Keeper of Bees — Bees and Beekeeping in Irish Folklore, and many other topics.

Thanks for having me Sharon. It was such a pleasure chatting with you & Yodit
Retail, I would say approx 9euro...it can be higher than that of course, up to 11/12euro in places
Honey harvesting! We emptied the last super, extracted the honey & bottled the liquid gold ✨️💫🐝

It's a bitter sweet moment (pardon pun) as the season is well & truly over

But yummy honey gets us through 🍯💪🐝

I couldnt recommend it more Shannon...a little gem just a few km's from Killarney town. A breath of fresh air.

(Tim's wife had homebaked scones too! 😋)
This is Tim Regan. He runs Killarney Bee Walks & Honey Tastings

A lovely way to spend the day 🐝🐝🐝
