Please follow this link for details of Sunday’s PBKA members apiary meeting.
Practical training sessions
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.
Working Party / Gweithgor
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!

Cawsom weithgor hynod lwyddiannus arall ddydd Sul, yn gosod y standiau cwch gwenyn yn barod ar gyfer y gwenyn yn ein Gwenynfa Goedwig newydd ym Maenordy Scolton.
Diolch yn fawr unwaith eto i bob un ohonoch a ddaeth i helpu ac fe wnaethom hefyd fwynhau ein cyfarfod yn y siop de, gyda rhai o fflap jacs blasus Lesley!
Rydym yn gobeithio symud y gwenyn i’w lleoliad newydd ar ôl gwyliau’r Pasg a byddwn yn rhoi gwybod i chi pan fydd y sesiynau hyfforddi ymarferol yn cychwyn.
Bron yno!

Foraging is essential for honey bees and provides their food supplies of nectar and pollen. Forage sources for honey bees are an important consideration for beekeepers, especially when siting apiaries. This talk looks at the nutritional needs of bees, colony requirements and important sources of forage, as well as looking at the bees’ foraging strategies.
Lynne has kept bees for over 30 years, and runs 25 – 30 colonies in Somerset. She is a Master Beekeeper, has recently gained the National Diploma in Beekeeping, (NDB), and is an examiner for the modules and practical assessments. Lynne is heavily involved in educating beekeepers in Somerset, now running study groups via Zoom, and curating the popular Somerset Lockdown Lecture series.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
