Just a few reminders of upcoming events and happenings.
Christmas Social: This will be at the Colliton Club in Dorchester on Monday 2nd December 7.00pm - 9.00pm. We will be having a light-hearted Quiz and partaking of sausage & chips (vegetarian options available).
Membership: That is due for renewal if you have not already done so.
January Social: This will be 22nd January at 7:00 at the Colliton Club. Always a good chance to meet beekeepers and discuss all sorts of things - even beekeeping.
BeeInfo: I have been adding new pages to the BeeInfo area of the website and the front end menu was becoming more difficult to navigate. I have now changed it for a collapsible menu. Just click on a triangle to unfold that section of the menu then click on the underlined page to get to the information. Give it a try and let me know what you think. I am open to suggestions.
Beginners: If you are interested in bees - and that includes those thinking of keeping bees as well as those who simply want to know more of nature - then there is a Beginners' course being held in Dorchester in March. There are more details here. As a build up to this I am adding some pages for beginners on the BeeInfo section of the website. Those attending the course will not only get an excellent grounding in what is involved in keeping bees but will also get several opportunities to look in a hive and handle bees.
Honey Adulteration: An excellent article in the Guardian the other day. Have a read here.
Feedback: Any suggestions as to how we could improve this site then contact me, Stephen, the webmaster.
