We have been advised by Frank Gellatly, the Regional Bee Inspector for Wales, that the NBU will shortly be recruiting a new Seasonal Bee Inspector to cover North Pembrokeshire and South Ceredigion. We will be advised of the link to the Civil Service Recruitment Website when the vacancy is posted in about a week’s time, but in the meantime Frank is happy to receive expressions of interest from any PBKA members, or answer any queries.
Just to remind beekeepers everywhere to check their bees for stores as we are coming into a high risk time for starvation as the queen gets into gear and the remaining winter stores are used up. So give your hives a heft and if needed, give them some fondant or candy (not liquid feed!).
