How truly honoured I am to have been invited to, and be a part of, the Charles Butler 400th Anniversary Celebrations in his pastoral home of Wootton St Lawrence in Basingstoke. I will be giving talks about the honeybees, doing book readings and signings over the two day celebrations.
Who is Charles Butler I hear you ask?
Charles Butler (1571 – 29 March 1647), sometimes called the Father of English Beekeeping, was a logician, grammarist, author, priest (Vicar of Wootton St Lawrence, near Basingstoke, England), and an influential beekeeper.
