Butterfly Conservation slams “obsession with tidiness” in British gardens and green spaces that is “just really bad for nature”, after the public counted record low butterfly numbers this summer. But that’s not the only reason the insects are declining, it said.
See here for details!
Wow! Check out the news channels……an Asian Hornet’s nest has been discovered in Southampton, estimated to hold about 3000 insects! This is a worry, it demonstrates the Asian Hornet populations are spreading west. Please continue to be vigilant and report suspected sightings to me Peter Kirkup, Asian Hornet Co-ordinator; the PBKA’s Apiary Manager, Paul Eades, or the National Bee Unit.
Please be advised that due to the forecasted inclement weather, today’s (Sunday 22nd September) Apiary Meeting has been cancelled.
Following last Sunday’s apiary meeting, it was agreed that an additional apiary meeting for PBKA members will be held this Sunday 22nd September, at 2pm to continue the winterising process.
Hopefully, it won’t be as wet as the last meeting, but the jury is out on the weather forecast currently, so we will do what we can!
Hope to see you then!
