Rooftop Beekeeping

Tim Vivien, Brum’s most elusive beekeeper that no one has seen until now!

Tim has kept bees on the roof of the Custard Factory in Digbeth since 2016.  His ‘hobby gone mad’ now extends to bees on the roofs of four buildings in Birmingham city centre, in addition to his original apiary at a National Trust property at home in Worcestershire.  He will be talking about what it is like keeping bees on urban roofs with hints and tips if you are thinking about this.  He will also talk about some of the strange things he has got involved in when urban dwellers find there is an apiary within easy reach
