About the Author

CLARE DENSLEY got her first bees in 1992 and was instantly hooked. She started work at Buckfast Abbey in 2008, helping to manage 400 colonies. Today, Buckfast has 30 colonies and the focus is on education so Clare and Martin run courses and educational visits as well as watching over Buckfast’s bees.
