Regular comb changes are important for boosting the health of your colonies, as well as making your inspections far easier. In this webinar we will look at some of the techniques you can use to manage combs effectively in the Spring while ensuring your bees have everything they need to navigate the process smoothly. We will discuss the optimum times for performing these manipulations and handy tips to help you.

Lynfa lives near Aberystwyth in mid Wales and has kept bees for 20 years. She is a Master Beekeeper and in 2019 was awarded the National Diploma in Beekeeping.

Lynfa has 30 colonies which she manages for honey production and for the joy of looking after bees! She raises her own queens and uses these to produce nucleus colonies and to replace her own stock. In Spring 2022, Lynfa’s first book, The Miller method of queen rearing, was published by Northern Bee Books, followed by her second book, The Beekeeping Year, in 2024.

Outside of beekeeping, Lynfa works for Mentera providing support and advice for farmers in Wales. She brings her expertise on insects to this work promoting the value of biodiverse ecosystems in a farmed landscape. In addition, Lynfa has written an online training resource called the Healthy Bees Academy which is funded by the Animal and Plant Health Agency.
