Excellent first meeting of the season! 🐝

We had an excellent first training session of the season this afternoon, with a mixed turnout of beginners and improvers!

Plenty to look at and lots of questions for the trainers. Many thanks to all who came along, with a special ‘Thank You‘ to the training team who did a magnificent job as always!

See you all at the next meeting on Sunday 11th May. 🐝

Fire Risks!

Hi fellow beekeepers

I am watching the Preseli mountain burn away and thought this a good time to suggest you take extra care when lighting your smoker or putting it down.

It is too easy to start an accidental fire while everywhere is so dry. I take a stainless steel bucket with me and put the smoker inside that, I am also fortunate that my apiary has plentiful water nearby.
