FORTHCOMING MEETINGS AND EVENTS

Over the active beekeeping months we hold a series of Bee Teas – a chance to visit other members' apiaries and ask questions over a cup of tea. These session given an opporunity for novice beekeepers to get an idea of what's involved in beekeeping, and for more experienced beekeepers to pick up tips from how others beekeepers run their hives and organise their apiaries. We will update members on Bee Tea events by mailshots. We also have a series of pub social get-togethers at 7pm on the second Wednesday of each month, coordinated by Patrick Curry. These are in pubs around our area as follows:
