'Sure you'd get stung a lot worse in Leinster House' - New TDs on the sweet release from politics that beekeeping brings
Briefly

Paul Lawless and Barry Heneghan, two young TDs, have bonded over their shared hobby of beekeeping, which they find helpful for stress relief amidst their political careers. Heneghan began beekeeping during Covid, driven by his passion for nature and farming, highlighting his fascination with the intricate societal structures of bees. This unusual hobby not only offers them a connection to the natural world but also serves as a calming antidote to the pressures of their roles in Leinster House.
"I started beekeeping during Covid. I love nature, animals and farming, and I was always fascinated by bees and how they operate, particularly the role of the queen, and the development of the different roles they individually play over their life cycle."
"Beekeeping has really helped me switch off from the stresses of Leinster House, it’s a wonderful way to connect with nature and find peace."
