Forthcoming social events

I hope your bee keeping year is going well and your girls are working hard collecting all that wonderful nectar that is out there at the moment and producing lovely honey!! This leads me on to say that the next social occasion is at: 

The Bowling Green  ~ Shaw Lane, Stoke PriorBromsgrove. B60 4BH on Monday 14th August 

It's an ideal opportunity for you to turn up and chat to fellow beekeepers about how your season has progressed. If my bees are willing to give up some of their stores, I will bring some along for you to have a taste. If you would like to do the same, we could end up with a great session trying to identify what plants our bees have been collecting from. Please try to attend if you can. I will be there from 8 o'clock in the front snug.

The last social occasion was the Bee Safari which was a great day out. Members travelled around the area, observing bees and beekeeping situations, chatted to apiary owners, had a great lunch and were very kindly chauffeured about by two land-rover owners. I'm hoping that we will be able load up a few photos of the day onto the website, so you can see how well it went. An event I'm sure we will run again next year.

On Wed 11th October there will be a 'Bee Movie' night, held at Bromsgrove Rugby Club. This will include a short talk and a variety of films. Please make a note of the date - further details to follow. 

All the very best
