Monmouth Bee Festival 2026

Join us for a summer celebration of bees and pollinators! We’ll be hosting a buzzing afternoon of bee-themed fun and activities in The Nelson Garden, Monmouth on Saturday 13th June from 12–4pm.

Kid’s activities include making seed balls and bee hotels, badge craft and bee-autiful face paints!

Don’t miss our fascinating talk on the secret life of the honey bee, taking place from 1–2pm and 2.30–3.30pm, fun, accessible, and perfect for all ages.

See if you can spot the queen in a glass bee hive.
