Honey Show on 27th November at 8.00pm at the United Reformed Church Hall, Chiswell Green, St Albans
This is an informal evening where members bring a jar of unlabeled clear honey along and we all taste and judge and present a cup to the winner. All members and their families welcome to attend. Please bring a plate of food. Drinks will be provided.
We are also intending to present certificates to all those who passed the Basic Beekeeping Examination back in the Summer.
Winter meeting
An informative illustrated talk was given on 23rd October to a large audience of St Albans members (and Barnet too) by Pam Farley of The Woodland Trust which has recently bought nearly 350 hectares (over 850 acres) of land near Sandridge, St Albans. Here they plan to create England's largest new native wood by planting 600,000 trees. After covering the origins and aims of the Trust she went on to explain the acquisition and management strategy for the new Heartwood Forest. With this project right on our doorstep there were many interesting questions asked.
The evening ended with a lively question and answer session covering problems some members had experienced throughout the last beekeeping season.
A reminder of our AGM on the 22nd January 2010. More details in the next newsletter.
