THE Bees for Development Trust has opened a new shop in Agincourt Street, Monmouth.

It will sell honey, beekeeping equipment, courses in sustainable beekeeping, and lots of bee-related goods and services.

"Our honeys will come from local beekeepers, and from some of our African partner beekeepers in Ethiopia and Zambia. Please come and visit us and find out more about our exciting projects," said a spokesman.

Bees for Development promotes simple, sustainable beekeeping, helping people living in poor and remote areas of the world to produce honey and beeswax, protect local biodiversity and keep bees healthy for the future.
