Canterbury Beekeepers

Littlebourne Village Hall, 7.30-9.30pm

Adrian Davis and Julian Audsley will lead a conversation about the key operations and manipulations that come up in the Spring.  A quick refresher about swarm management and swarm control is always helpful, as are various strategies for comb replacement, making increase, and ensuring colonies are building up in good health.

This is the last indoor meeting until the autumn – as soon as the branch apiary has the “all-clear” from its standstill notice, following the elimination of an EFB infected hive, we will arrange apiary meetings there.  In the meantime, if anyone wants to host a meeting in their own apiary please let Adrian, or the committee know.
