Most excellent guest speaker at the club meeting last night, That Bee Guy has some interesting tales to tell and i think it's fair to say that everyone enjoyed the talk.

World Bee Day is coming! 🐝

A good reminder of why we do what we do - looking after our bees, learning as we go, and helping each other along the way.

Beekeeping isn’t always easy (and yes, there are a few stings every now and then😅), but it’s always worth it.

If you’ve ever been curious about beekeeping, or just want to see what it’s all about, you’re always welcome to come along or get in touch.

Here’s to the bees (and the people who look after them) 🍯

If you have bees and you are not rotating your mite treatments i have a couple of club members you might want to have a word with before they want to have a word with you. I'm just saying :).

if you need help, please ask!. the well beeing (see what i did there) of your bees impacts us all.
