Spring Convention Reminder
Don't forget the Spring Convention at Harper Adams University, TF10 8NB, for three days immersion in ‘all things honeybees’ during 8th to 10th April.
Your three-day or single-day Wristband Ticket (not Trade Show only) gets you admittance to all the day's lectures. These cannot be booked - just be at the lecture theatre in good time.
Many workshops are now fully booked, so several extra have been opened to meet demand. Any places remaining after 29th March (when bookings close) can be reserved at the Convention from Friday 8th.
Key dates:
10th March – last date for accommodation held at Telford’s Southwater Hotels: Ramada & International.
29th March – last date for advance bookings of Wristband Tickets, Workshops, Dinners & Tent/Camper/Caravan pitches. Whilst Wristbands are available on-the-day, these are cheaper in advance.
Saturday 9th April 08.30 – 16.30: Convention Trade Show - One Day Only
This is the major Trade Show of the year. Meet the traders; inspect the kit; handle the hive tools; try on that new bee-suit; trade-in beeswax; collect pre-orders; learn from Speakers Corner, and so much more. Tickets available only on-the-day, just £6.

Please Help Prevent Honey Fraud
We need the government to overhaul and update the labelling of the honey sold in the UK. This is the first step in reducing the amount of ‘so-called’ honey sold in our supermarkets that contain very little honey produced by bees.
Please sign the online petition below and ask your friends to sign it. This affects anyone who loves honey!
