apiarymanager Events, PBKA

Thanks to all the hardy souls who turned up for today’s apiary meeting, despite the weather! We managed to inspect all the hives in between the showers to ensure all was well! Let’s hope for a bit more sunshine after today!🐝

Thanks to our trainers Linda, Lesley, Aisha, David and John for taking the groups, and thanks also to Jamie for the pics!

Very successful skep making course!

A fascinating skep making course was held this Saturday at Scolton Manor for PBKA members.

The participants were trained by Tina, a very talented local skep maker, who explained and demonstrated the process before putting them to work!

The course lasted the whole day and by the end of it the skeps were well on their way!

Following the success of this course, we hope to repeat it later in the year.

Many thanks to Tina for providing the training with her expertise and enthusiasm in an ancient craft, which the PBKA is delighted to support and encourage!🐝
