WBKA Convention update!🐝

Dear Beekeepers

If you are coming to the WBKA Convention this Saturday on the Royal Welsh Agricultural Showground near Builth Wells please don’t forget to come and talk to us on the WBKA stand. We will be opposite Thornes and next to the Bee Inspectors in the trade hall so we are easy to find. All the trustees and some other officers will be at the event so we can answer most questions about the WBKA that you may have. Officers involved with membership, insurance, the magazine, education, beekeeping for schools, responses to introduced pests, communication, working with eR2, getting involved etc will be at the convention and we can arrange for you to talk to them.

We will also be there to talk about simple ways of increasing your colonies without the cost or  potential harm of purchasing bees from outside of your locality.

The weather on Saturday is not forecasted to be suitable for either beekeeping or gardening so what is better than spending the day at the convention and talking to other beekeepers?

We look forward to seeing and talking to as many of you as possible.

Cofion cynnes / Kind regards,

Jenny

Successful ‘Beginners’ Beekeeping Course’ today!

Many thanks to all the folk who attended the ‘Introductory Beekeeping Course’, which we held today at Scolton Manor!

The questions to the presenters, Paul and Diane, came thick and fast and a keen interest was shown by all.

We hope to see you at the practical training sessions this season……it will soon be time to get the beesuits on!

We can’t wait!🐝
