The ITLUS Summer Field Meeting took place in South Tipperary, after a fine breakfast in McCarthys Bar, Fethard we loaded up on some busses and headed to the famous

 

Bulmers orchards near Clonmel.

There we saw both the  traditional orchards and the new style apple wall orchards, some of which were only at the planting stage.

 

After viewing the orchards we had a short presentation on the importance of honey bees to the pollination of the trees.

 

 

When we had finished in Blumers it was back on the busses and back to McCarthys for lunch.
