		The Benedictine monks of Buckfast welcome visitors to their famous Abbey, set in the beautiful valley of the River Dart on the edge of Dartmoor.
		Founded in Saxon times, the Abbey grew in size and influence during the Middle Ages until the Dissolution in 1539, when the monastery was closed and fell into ruin.
		Benedictine monks have always made visitors welcome, and recent developments at Buckfast have improved the facilities for the many thousands of people who came to the Abbey each year.

	Science Fair Projects - Buckfast Tonic Wine
		Buckfast Tonic Wine, commonly known as simply Buckfast or Buckie (in Scotland), is a tonic wine produced by Buckfast Abbey in South Western England.
		This abusive use of Buckfast is particularly prevalent in the poorer districts of Greater Glasgow in Scotland, and in the surrounding deprived communities (in an area known colloquially as The Buckfast Triangle, with the towns of Airdrie, Bellshill, and Coatbridge it its vertices).
		Here Buckfast is mostly sold in off-licences (liquor stores) for consumption off the premises, and groups of youths can frequently be seen drinking it (at all times of day) in parks and other public places.

	Buckfast bee - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Buckfast hybrid bee was a honeybee developed by "Brother Adam", (born Karl Kehrle in 1898 in Germany), who was in charge of beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey.
		This condition, later called "acarine" disease, after the acarine parasitic mite that invaded the bees' tracheal tubes and shortened their lives, was killing off thousands of colonies in the British Isles in the early part of the 20th century.
		Their main drawbacks are that they have a strong tendency to lock combs together with brace combs, and they are very liberal in their application of propolis to inner surfaces of their hives, thus acting to defeat one of the main purposes of the modern beehive -- that combs should be easily removable for inspection.

	Buckfast Abbey
		Buckfast Abbey is in Devon and is as ancient as "hell" although the current abbey has not been built all that long.
		In 1315, Buckfast was listed along with Forde, Newenham and Torre Abbey as an exporter of wool to Florence, although it is likely that, in line with most Abbeys in the country, Buckfast was sending wool to Italy by the end of the previous century.
		At Buckfast in the 12th century, there may have been as many as 60 choir monks, and perhaps twice as many lay-brothers; between 1500 and 1539, only 22 monks were ordained, ten of whom remained at the Dissolution and signed the deed of surrender.

	Abbeys
		The original monastery at Buckfast was founded in 1018 by a local nobleman and was from the first a Benedictine abbey.
		By the later Middle Ages Buckfast Abbey had risen to be one of the wealthiest Cistercian abbeys in the south of England, and ran its own guest hall, almshouse and school.
		By the time of the Dissolution, however, the monastery was in some decline, housing only twenty-two monks, compared to the 180 monks and lay-brothers that probably made up in the community in the twelfth century.

		McConnell defended Kerr at the time, saying: “It (Buckfast) is not only a drink which is particularly attractive to younger people for a number of reasons, but it is also a badge of pride amongst those who are involved in antisocial behaviour.
		Following their prayer effort against Buckfast, the churches plan to hold similar prayer sessions to bring about a “fresh appreciation of the joy of Christian marriage” and “the rediscovery of true love in place of the sexualisation of society”.
