Apiary Meeting – April

First Summer Meeting

The activities at the branch apiary for Sunday are (weather permitting):

• If the weather is good enough, the first inspection of the season. – These will be done by more experienced members (as they still need to be quick), other members are welcome to help/observe.
  • NOTE:- only members who are registered with the BBKA will be allowed to handle the bees.  This is an insurance cover issue requirement.
• Make up brood frames.
• Clean the apiary site of the pieces of glass that are scattered around it.
• Tea/coffee, biscuits and chat.

NOTE:  If you wish to be in the apiary with the bees you need to be wearing a CLEAN and FULL beesuit and wellington boots/sturdy boots.

Members can borrow club beesuits for the afternoon.
