The Rare Cornish Black Bee

for 1 hour
St Laudus, Mabe
Church Road, Mabe Burnthouse, TR10 9JG, United Kingdom
Beekeeper Rodger Dewhurst will give a talk 3-4pm on the rare Cornish black bee, followed by tea and cake. Roger has spent his life breeding and studying this indigenous, hard-working bee and has made many fascinating discoveries which explain its productivity and its resilience to the deadly varroa mite. In a rapidly changing world, it is more important than ever to understand and protect these key indigenous species. Donations invited to help cover expenses and to go towards church funds.

St Laudus, Mabe

Welcome to our website and, we hope, to our church. It is set in a beautiful location a mile out of the village overlooking Argal Reservoir. You are very welcome at any of our services or just to pay a visit to the church and churchyard. Because of its isolated location the church building cannot be kept open daily but is often open between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Thursdays.

We form one parish with St Michael's church in Ponsanooth and we alternate our Sunday services between the two churches. The dates and times of services, and where they take place, are set out on a notice board in the church car park and also on this website (Services and Events).

You will be made very welcome at any of our services. Our style of worship is relaxed. Our congregation tend to be unpretentious in their manner and dress and are very willing to accept you as you are.

We host various fundraising events, mostly musical but also some illustrated talks. Rather than charge admission we invite donations and the proceeds are often divided between church funds and a nominated charity.
