Bee-keeping is an ancient, fascinating and productive art, with a strong following in Cornwall.

The marquee is packed with trade stands and there is a wide range of competitive classes for honey and honey/beeswax products. Also, there are displays of be-ekeeping equipment and a live hive with a transparent wall through which you can see the bees going about their work.

Homemade wine classes show the art of the winemaker at its best with hot competition producing a wide range of tempting tipples.
