The €15,000 project, funded by CUH Charity, has been three years in the making – and will also produce the hospital’s own brand of CUHoney. Paediatrics allergy consultant Dr Juan Trujillo said the project is vital in reassuring patients that they can continue to live life in the same way – with a reduced possibility of a life-threatening event from a sting.
CUH, which treats up to 20 patients with anaphylaxis every year, has introduced pollenating gardens and two hives, potentially accommodating 40,000 bees, but before that could happen trees and wildflowers had to be planted on site.
