Latest News
On Saturday 8th June, 12 members attended a skep making session, run by Alexandra Mahoney, from Thanet Beekeepers. This was an enjoyable session, and taking advantage of the sunny-ish weather, was held outside at the Sutton Community Hall.​ Alex demonstrated how to prepare the materials (stripping the straw, then soaking in water) and had kindly started the first coil of the skep for everyone. She then explained how to build the skep and use of a fid tool to produce the size and shape required. ​Luckily the rain held off and everyone left with all the materials needed to continue making the skep at home.
