Members are invited to a social evening of beekeeping talks over a few drinks at the Astwood Bank Social Club at 7.30 pm on Friday 19th April. Catch up with your fellow beekeepers and to listen to some fantastic speakers share their knowledge and experience on some really important topics.
Our own Asian Hornet Alert Co-Ordinator, Jas Payne, will be talking about the threat posed by the invasive Asian Hornet and how you can play your part to help protect against their spread. Asian Hornets have spread quickly along the south coast of England and last year we received alerts in our area of sightings, which thankfully turned out to not to be Asian Hornets, but we need to be ready this year to protect our bees.
Robin May is a beekeeper who uses the Flowhive system in North East Worcestershire. He will be talking about his personal experiences of using the system and we will conclude with a question and answer session about the system. Please come armed with questions for him!
Dave Lantsbery and Mike Bickerton will speak about small cell beekeeping, its advantages, and how it can be used in your apiary.
We hope to see you there!
