Following the poor summer and general lack of honey during the main flow, many beekeepers are reporting that their colonies are short of food.
Could we therefore suggest as a matter of urgency, that you check your colonies for stores and if necessary put on feeders of syrup? Also, remember to check your colonies are queenright and monitor/treat for Varroa as appropriate!
Would all members please note that the PBKA Honey Show will take place on Saturday 17th September at Scolton Manor, near Haverfordwest, so get your honey ready!!
Further details to follow.
Ten PBKA members took the WBKA Basic Assessment on Sunday 21st August and we are delighted to report that all of the candidates passed with flying colours!
The WBKA Basic Assessment consists of two elements, practical and theoretical, to demonstrate a good level of understanding of the management of bees.
We would like to congratulate them all on their success, which was down to sheer dedication and hard work on their part, as well as a desire to be better beekeepers.
Well done indeed!
We are very proud of them all and hope to have more PBKA members enter the Basic Assessment next year!
