PBKA exciting new appointment for 2026!

January 31, 2026 apiarymanager PBKA, PBKA Apiary, Scolton Beekeeping Centre, Stories of Interest, Training

On behalf of the PBKA Committee, I am delighted to announce the appointment of Committee member David Moore, to the position of ‘Apiary Manager’ at Scolton Manor.

As PBKA members will know, I have been the Apiary Manager for over 15 years now and have decided that it is time to pass the apiary smoker over to David, who has a wealth of beekeeping experience and some great ideas for the apiary!

David, who has been my deputy for the last couple of years and done a terrific job, is taking over the reins with immediate effect and I know he will do a great job for the association.

Contact details for David (to include a new email address) will follow in due course. In the meantime, you can continue to use the following email address pbkaapiarymanager@live.co.uk

I know you will all give David your full support!

Very best regards

Paul Eades
