For the first time in the theatre’s history, 20,000 Buckfast bees now take centre stage on the roof of its building.

While bees are under threat, Black Mountain Honey approached the theatre to support the area’s biodiversity by creating a thriving new habitat for the colony.

Founder and Bee Farmer, Laurence Edwards said: “The bees add another layer to the building. It’s not just theatre, food, art and performance. It’s also nature, pollination, education and local produce, all happening in one place.”

The two hives and their Queen, hailing from Nercwys, will forage in the garden, wildflowers and surrounding areas and produce up to 200lbs of bespoke, local honey. At full strength, the colony could grow by up to 100,000 bees.

Each small bee will play a huge role in Theatr Clwyd’s environmental journey and commitment to sustainability.

Director of Development & Environmental Sustainability, Zoe Crick-Tucker said: "The arrival of two bee hives marks another step in bringing our environmental ambitions to life. It reflects our commitment to community and the natural world, inspiring visitors and helping to protect the ecosystems on which we all depend."
