Tragic Loss to Beekeeping World - John Wilson MBE
Tributes have poured in following the death of a popular beekeeper.
John Douglas Wilson, MBE, started keeping bees after returning from the War and joined the Ealing Beekeeper Association.
The 87-year-old became the secretary of the association and an executive of the National Honey Show.
Mr Wilson was also an Ealing representative on the Middlesex Federation and executive of the Central Association of Beekeepers.
The father-of-three was interested in nature and the environment and on June 14 2003, was presented an MBE for services to beekeeping.
Friends have said they will miss seeing him at major events in the area and said the beekeeping world has lost a great man.
