We have been informed by the WBKA, of two separate incidents of hive thefts in the Carmarthen area in the last few months. This is a reminder for beekeepers to remain vigilant about the security of their apiaries. Also, please make sure that you do your best to check the source of any colonies that may be offered for sale in your area. The latest theft was of two Maisemore nucs, both with an added super. If you suspect that you have been offered either of these, please let us know and we will forward your concerns to the appropriate body.
Asian Hornet – the story so far! Webinar on Sep 10, 2020 at 7:30 PM
During what has been designated Asian Hornet week, WBKA are pleased to bring you this presentation by Frank Gellatly. Frank will be well known to many of you as the Wales Regional Bee Inspector. He has considerable front line experience in the battle against the Asian Hornet which, since its arrival in the UK, has caused much concern. It is vitally important that we all remain alert to help in the fight against this threat to our bees. Frank’s presentation will cover Asian Hornet identification, the Asian Hornet in France, incursions into England, the response including track and trace, the Jersey experience, and the future, including AH teams in Wales.
Registration for this webinar is open to all beekeepers and, as usual, we will begin with a short, general Q&A session. Send your advance questions by email to l&d@wbka.com
We are interested to know how widely our webinars are viewed and so would appreciate you answering a couple of questions when registering for the event.
