A beekeeping and horticultural extravaganza will be held to show off the work of beekeepers and give insight into life in a bee colony.

The West Norfolk and King’s Lynn Beekeepers Association (WNKLBA) will hold its annual honey show in the grounds of the Downham Home and Garden Store at Bexwell, near Downham Market, on July 24 and 25.

WNKLBA would usually be preparing to hold the event at the Sandringham Flower Show but instead found another venue following its cancellation.
