Beehives Swords Pavilions currently has 2 beehives on the roof of the Centre! Bees have experienced a huge decline in the past number of years. With 1 fully trained beekeepers on site we are committed to giving them a home where they can have happy and healthy colonies. Honeybees play a vital role in our community so we have created a rich diversity of flowers and plants for them to feed on.
