Reminder – ‘Bees and Teas’ meeting this Sunday!
Just a reminder to PBKA members, that we will be having a members ‘Bees and Teas’ get together tomorrow, Sunday 27th November, 2pm, at the big green building by the entrance to the training apiary at Scolton, just past the old steam train at the bottom of the site.
There will be a talk, a practical demonstration and an informal honey tasting session to compare different flavours from around the County, plus an open Q&A session to follow.
Free tea and coffee will be available and if you would like to bring a plate of something scrummy to share, that would be lovely.
So, if you would like to come along and bring a jar of your honey along for tasting, or if you have any questions you would like to ask, we look forward to seeing you then!
Very best regards
Paul

Webinar – Honey Bee Anatomy by Bob Smith on November 24th at 7:30pm
Honey Bee Anatomy – Bob Smith NDB
Join us for a webinar on Nov 24, 2022 at 7:30 PM GMT.

The Honey Bee is an insect. Seems obvious but the Insect Kingdom is the most abundant group of animals on the planet with huge variations in their life-cycles, diets, preferred habitats and ways of moving. This talk will explore some of the adaptations that allow the honey bee to thrive by looking at the anatomy of the bee, from antennae to sting, and relating the form to function. We will look at the external features but also at some of the common dissections that can be performed to allow some understanding of the internal workings of the bee.
Bob has been keeping bees since the late 70’s, currently managing 10 colonies in 14×12 WBC’s in North Kent. He was a Seasonal Bee Inspector for 6 years, is a holder of the NDB and has served on several Government panels concerning bees and pollination. He has been involved in providing training opportunities for “Improver” beekeepers in Kent through both theoretical and practical handling courses.
Bob’s scientific training as an analytical chemist impacts his whole approach to beekeeping; experimentation and record-keeping are fundamental to chemistry and beekeeping!
