On last night’s episode of Big Week on the Farm, camogie player Anna Geary took up chicken-plucking, while the life of the pig and bees also featured.

Presenter Aine Lawlor and Geary had a chicken-plucking contest, with Lawlor coming out the winner.

Meanwhile, Helen Carroll was in Enfield where she was looking at bees and how they can benefit farming.

Twitter lit up with viewers tweeting their thoughts about the programme, which is filmed on John Fagan’s Westmeath farm, and it appears that there’s going to be some new bee-keepers across the country!
