Training at the county apiary

Published May 20, 2009

The training sessions at our apiary near Southwell have now finished for this season.

They proved very popular, with many new beekeepers coming along, and we were able to demonstrate the day to day practical management of the hive and pass on and pick up plenty of tips.

Thanks go to those who led the sessions, and particular thanks go to Maurice and Linda Jordan for always making sure the apiary was ready for us and the bees were friendly.

The 2011 sessions will begin in May.
