URGENT:Starvation risk warning!
Just to advise beekeepers everywhere to check their bees for stores (especially nucs), particularly if you didn’t give yours a full winter feed at the end of last season.
So give your hives a heft and if needed, give them some fondant or candy (not liquid feed!) and recheck regularly!
This is also a good time to treat for Varroa while brood numbers are still low.
Urgent – Overdue PBKA Membership Renewals 2024
Just a reminder that membership renewals are now overdue.
Please ensure that you renew promptly on our online system (see link below), in order to ensure continuity of your membership and BDI insurance.
We are also accepting applications for new PBKA Members and PBKA Supporters for 2024.
Please note that there are changes to PBKA membership arrangements for 2024, due to changes in the policy conditions of the Liability insurance cover with the WBKA.
- PBKA membership, (including insurance cover), will now be for one person only (not families) at the normal membership rate (subject to the number of hives for BDI).
- Partners must now join separately under the new ‘Partner’ category (see link below), which now costs £6.00 per calendar year, to ensure liability cover is in place. Please note that Partners must live at the same address as the Full Member they are linked with. Otherwise, please join as a Full Member.
- Note that there is no block family insurance cover available.
For further details and to join/renew as a full Member or Partner, please follow this link.
We are doing our best to try and make this change as seamless as possible, but please bear with us during this transition phase.
