Miriam accidentally acquired bees 28 years ago at a time when it was common to import queens. Testing them in her small, dark colonies, it became evident to Miriam that there was more to local adaptation and colony success.
When she finished her role as a headteacher, she had more time to delve into her hobby and join in with the activities of Gwent Beekeepers. She is passionate about providing quality learning opportunities and raising the standards of learning experiences for beginners. With her Gwent colleagues, she produces forty or more colonies for new beekeepers each year using local queens.
Join us to learn more about the methods used by Miriam to rear these successful locally adapted queens.
