Weather update on Sunday’s end of season apiary meeting🐝

apiarymanager Education & Training, Events, PBKA, Training

The weather is looking poor tomorrow with a weather warning in force so hive activity other than topping up feeders likely to be limited. However, as it is the last meeting of the season and rather than cancel it totally, we thought we could do an end of season Q&A session to discuss end of season preps such as feeding, treating, over- wintering etc. In order that we can gauge numbers etc, perhaps you can let us know in the comments section below or email me on pbkaapiarymanager@live.co.uk if you are likely to come along!🐝

Maggie is the Regional Bee Inspector for Wales and her talk will look at integrated pest management for varroa and the complexities of ‘treatment free’ beekeeping.
Maggie has worked for the National Bee Unit since 2014 working as a Seasonal Bee Inspector prior to taking up her current role. She has kept bees since 2007 and has an interest in honey bee research. This interest has led her to work with the National Botanic Garden of Wales to look at how nectar resources affect pollinator assemblages, and to carry out research for the NBU in Thailand looking into monitoring for Tropilaelaps and potential transmission routes. Maggie is also currently working with the US military and University of Maryland on monitoring volatile organic compounds in colonies to detect sub clinical levels of disease and environmental contamination.
Many beekeepers are interested in becoming treatment free and Maggie’s talk will help us to understand what is required for this to be achieved successfully.
