Last Club Day of the Season – Saturday 2nd May

May 2 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

We’re hoping for good weather so we can run a special mead-making demonstration using your own honey. Nick will be showing members how to turn their honey into mead and get even more enjoyment from the products their bees produce.

Preparing Your Hives for Winter

Now is the time to winter down your hives — some beekeepers have already started. We’ll be discussing:

  • Have your treatments been completed and checked?
  • Are food supplies sufficient for winter?
  • Should you move your hive to get more sunshine?
  • What should you be doing now to avoid winter losses?

We’ll also inspect the hives on site, see what’s happening, and talk through any issues. If things are looking a bit worrying, don’t panic — come along and we’ll help you make a plan.

Need Help? Bring Your Questions

There are no guest speakers this month, which means more time for members to ask questions, share experiences, and get practical advice.

Also Happening on the Day

  • Raffle tickets available (cash only – no credit)
  • Committee nominations will be open on site

Looking Ahead

Please note the AGM will be held in August. More details will be shared closer to the date.

We look forward to seeing you there for a great final Club Day of the season.
