NIGHT MEETING CANCELLED THIS MONTH

Due to the upcoming open day on Sat 22 APRIL, there WILL BE NO NIGHT MEETING THIS MONTH.

FIELD DAY: 10AM SUNDAY 30 APR 2017

AGENDA: PREPARING YOUR COLONIES FOR WINTER

As winter fast approaches, you should do your final extractions for the season soon if you already haven't done so and you should be packing down your hives for the cold days and nights ahead. This month we will be discussing in more detail the things you need to do to ensure your bees survive the winter season ahead.

OPEN DAY 9am SAT 22 APR 2017

We will be holding a special open day at our Beekeeping Museum and Apiary. We need volunteers to assist with duties on the day plus we invite members to participate in the planned activities. If you wish to be a part of this event, please contact Penny or one of our committee members at the next meetings.

We have places available for our upcoming Beekeeping for Beginners Courses. To find out more, click the icon above.

We need your help. Volunteers are needed for gardening duties 9am to 11am Thursdays and for our upcoming Open Day on 17 April 2017. So if you can help, contact Penny or email us by clicking the icon above 

The beekeepers shop is now again open each Thursday morning from 9AM to 12PM, at our monthly Thursday night meetings and Sunday field days approx. 30 minutes before the meetings commence.
