On the 19th May we have a social at the Colliton Club in Dorchester. This one will be upstairs where we will join in a Zoom lecture on Practical Swarm Collection. As someone who has collected many swarms I am looking forward to seeing how others do it.
There are a couple more dates to add to your diary. On the 19th June we are running a trip to Robert Field's Honey plant. I have been there and it is well worth a visit. If you want more details contact our secretary.
Then on the 20th June we have a special session at the apiary at Stinsford. Our recently retired Seasonal Bee Inspector, Kevin Pope, will be checking the apiary. To watch and listen to Kevin do an inspection is well worth it. If you think you know it all then come to this inspection and learn more. If you are still unsure of how much you know then come along and learn more.
On the 26th July we will be at Warmwell Fete and 12th August will be a social at the Colliton Club. This one is timed to allow you to chat about the Dorset County Show. It will be an opportunity for you to grade your honey as "light", "medium" or "dark" using our grading glasses.
Hopefully we will see you at one of these events.
