Message from the WBKA
There is still time (up to the end of October) to submit items for the Winter edition of the Welsh Beekeeper magazine. In particular you have until the end of the month to send in your photographs for the quarterly WBKA photo competition. Your photos just have to be about beekeeping or honey bees and the best entry will win a really worthwhile prize. Get your cameras out as bees are still flying and the sun comes out occasionally.
For the magazine why not send in any festive recipes you have that use honey, or ideas for Christmas gifts. Have you found a new to you successful way to manage your bees this past season that you would like to share? Anything amusing or different that has happened around your beekeeping this season? Articles about bees and beekeeping are always welcome and if we have too many for the winter edition we always have the Spring one to populate.
