Despite inclement weather there was a good turnout of members for the Apiary clean-up’s on 20th March at Prae Wood and Oaklands. Many hives at the Prae Wood apiary have suffered from unprecedented woodpecker damage this winter even though protection was in place. There is also concern over possible colony losses.
Meetings
The first members meeting of the season will be held at Prae Wood Apiary on Saturday 24th April at 3.00pm when the topic will be ‘Swarms’ followed by a Q & A session.
Our second members meeting of the season will be held at Prae Wood Apiary on Saturday 15th May at 3.00pm. Topic to be arranged.
Beginners Course
We are now halfway through our beginners course with attendances of 26 at each session.
Thanks must go to those members who regularly turn out to support us with tea making and chatting to and reassuring the course participants.
BeeWorld 2010
A reminder that BeeWorld will be held at the Herts Show on the weekend of May 29th/30th at the Redbourn Showground. The co-ordinators Marian Whittaker and Luke Adams will be contacting the secretaries of each division shortly.
St Albans BKA Web-site
This is now up and running so do read the article by Andrew Copley in this month’s HertsBees. The season is starting well with many interested beekeepers, keen to get started, contacting me mostly on my personal e.mail address. It will be interesting to see in the future how many come via the web-site.
