Tuesday 24th April—Getting the best from your bees
Craig y Don Community Centre
A talk by Jonathan Garratt our Seasonal Bee Inspector, at Craig y Don Community Centre. Welcome tea and coffee from 7.20pm. Talk starts at 7.40pm.
So, your bees have come through the winter and they are building up well. What steps should we be taking now to increase the chances of a bumper honey harvest? Come to the talk and find out, or stay at home and be happy with half-filled supers.
Plus… an update on Exotic Pests—Asian Hornets and Small hive beetle.
See here for directions.
This talk replaces one by Frank Gellatly, RBI for Wales, who will now be visiting us in June.
Asian Hornets

Saturday 5th May—Apiary meeting
Tal y Cafn at 2.30pm.
Coming soon—Sycamore honey.
Be in time with your supers. Sycamore is the best honey for drawing out supers of new foundation.
Contact Chris Clarke for supplies of frames and foundation, or if you wish to move hives to the oil seed rape at Bodelwyddan, now in flower.
Enjoy your beekeeping!
