Dear Beekeeper
What a good show it was, Chris did a great job and the
new venue at Beech Grove gave all the exhibitors and visitors room to move. The
sun even shone!
Well done to David Stevenson for his best in show
solar wax extractor. Mavis and Maggie made a super lunch and Marge dispensed
tea and coffee at a pace. It was good to see so many new members having
success.
Exam success
At the Show, 5 members had Basic Assessment
certificates [and badge]: Sue Clough, Martin Edwards, Polly Fowle, Sue Kittle
and Chris Mendoza. They were well taught by Mary Hill.
There are some great photos on the website as well as
the full results with Chris’ report.
Your hives should be secured for winter, weighted down
with bricks or straps, protected from woodpeckers, mouseguards on. I have never
fed bees so late and am putting fondant on as they are still light.
