This year we are going to try to find a location for a branch teaching apiary, reasonably close to Canterbury – any suggestions please let Julian Audsley know. Consideration should include access, security and parking. Secondly we want to improve access to the winter meetings by choosing a location closer to Canterbury and with better winter access than Stelling Minnis. Again any suggestions please let Julian know.
This report is based on the minority of beekeepers who make a return to the Regional Bee Inspector Alan Byham last year. The average yield per colony was 44lb and the average direct price was £4.31.
