NB. NOW FULLY SUBSCRIBED!!

The PBKA is holding a skep making course on Saturday 27th April in the Green Barn at Scolton, for PBKA members only. We only have a few spaces available however on a strictly first come first served basis, so if you are interested, please let me know asap.

If we can’t fit you onto this course, we hope to run another at a later date if there are enough interested people. The cost is being subsidised by the PBKA and will only cost members £30.00 for the day, to include all materials, and refreshments (please bring your own lunch).

To book a place, please contact pbkaapiarymanager@live.co.uk

URGENT:Starvation risk warning!

apiarymanager Bee Health, Feeding Bees and Starvation, PBKA, Varroa

Given the continuing inclement weather and the increasing amount of brood being produced. This is to remind beekeepers everywhere to check their bees for stores (especially nucs), particularly if you didn’t give yours a full winter feed at the end of last season.

So give your hives a heft and if needed, give them some fondant or candy and recheck regularly!

This is also a good time to treat for Varroa while brood numbers are still low.
