Just to advise that the training sessions for beginners will be starting soon. As you know, we have been developing a new training apiary and we hope to have it ready for use shortly. We will put another post on again to advise a starting date just as soon as we can.
We will also make an announcement about the improvers sessions, so watch this space!
Please note that these sessions are for PBKA members only.
This is a reminder for the next WBKA Webinar on Thursday 21st April at 7.30pm when Dr Mark Barnett will talk about ‘Taking Bees to the Heather’. The webinar is open for all to attend so please circulate this registration link to anyone you know who may be interested in attending.
We had another highly successful working party on Sunday, installing the hive stands ready for the bees at our new Woodland Apiary at Scolton Manor.
Many thanks once again to all of you who turned up to help and we also enjoyed our post-installation meeting at the tea shop, with some of Lesley’s delicious flap jacks!
We hope to get the bees installed after the Easter break and we will let you know when the practical training sessions are commencing.
Nearly there!

We are forging ahead with the new apiary thanks to all the effort put in by our members, and the next phase is to erect the new hive stands on-site prior to our bringing the hives in.
We are going to be using 4 inch blocks to build the stands and need a few volunteers to assist us on Sunday 3rd April at 1pm.
So if you think you could be available and perhaps have a wheel barrow, together with a pair of sturdy gloves (maybe even a level!), please email us at pbkaapiarymanager@live.co.uk
Many thanks.
