VISITORS swarmed in their hundreds to the Malvern and Upton Beekeepers' Association Honey Show in Hanley Swan last weekend.

More than 130 exhibits were on display, from every conceivable variety of honey to mead, wax and honey cakes.

"We had a brilliant day, people were turning up from all over," said organiser Jim Kitching. "The weather was great and at one point the hall was absolutely packed out.

"It's been a good year for honey, especially compared to last year, which was too wet for the bees to be able to come out of their hives.

The show, at Hanley Swan Village Hall, has been a regular fixture since before the Second World War.
