Irish Bee Conservation Project

The IBCP was established out of a research project to find honeybees that could coexist with the varroa mite under the guidance of Dr Ciaran Geoghegan. The bees were supplied by Robert Anthony Pat Deasy. This group decided to set up a project and create habitat for wild honeybees called bee lodges. In 2019 the first lodges were installed at Fota Wildlife park and were an instant success some were charged with native bees.
