SUMMARY:Last Club Day of the Season – Saturday 2nd May
DESCRIPTION: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. \nPreparing Your Hives for Winter\nNow is the time to winter down your hives — some beekeepers have already started. We’ll be discussing: \n\nHave your treatments been completed and checked?\nAre food supplies sufficient for winter?\nShould you move your hive to get more sunshine?\nWhat should you be doing now to avoid winter losses?\n\nWe’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. \nNeed Help? Bring Your Questions\nThere are no guest speakers this month\, which means more time for members to ask questions\, share experiences\, and get practical advice. \nAlso Happening on the Day\n\nRaffle tickets available (cash only – no credit)\nCommittee nominations will be open on site\n\nLooking Ahead\nPlease note the AGM will be held in August. More details will be shared closer to the date. \nWe look forward to seeing you there for a great final Club Day of the season.
