Greetings club members.
Yet again I have to announce a cancellation of the coming AGM on Saturday 21, because of Covit.
All officers of the club will maintain their present status until the AGM date is reset.
I know you will share my frustration as we seem to have cancelled a number of events this last year or so because of weather
and Covit. This new form of Covit it is really quite deadly, and although the chances of it affecting the South Island is less than the North Island,
I cannot countenance having any of our member’s put in danger. You will be notified as soon as a clear path forward becomes available.

Newbee Introductory Course.
Good news here.
The club is to hold a special training course for Newbees! Hive Master Gordon and AFB inspector Lindsay Moir are the tutors.
The charge will be $150.00 per club member and $190 per non-member. Two days from 9am to 4.30 am on Saturday 18th and 25th Sept. Booking is essential.
This is a full and very thorough introductory course to bee keeping from two very experienced tutors!
Honey Flow,
Are you ready? Boxes prepped, disease control ready? Refresh yourselves with the myriad of available written and electronic information and talk to other
experienced beekeepers within our club, the hive master for instance!. I feel that September will be clear start, though, I note my bees are already bringing pollen and nectar.
Yours
Paul O’Donnell
President.
Hello Team,
SORRY but the hive master informs me the apiary is awash with water.
It is pointless hoping for the best, therefore, tomorrow has been cancelled.
So folks see you all at the AGM .
Don’t forget to be thinking about any business you wish to bring forward, now is your chance!
Regards
Paul.
President.
Hi Team,
SORRY EVERYONE but the working bee at the club has been cancelled for tomorrow.
I have left this for the last moment just in case we will miss the rain event. However, the weather office assures me that there will be a consistent amount of rain around the port hills and probably the city proper.
As I write Arthurs Pass is now closed due to slips.
The working be is postponed until next Saturday. I know you will be bitterly disappointed!See you next week!
Paul O’Donnell
President.We’ll be having a BBQ, please bring salad or appropriate. The day will end with a short planting session, a mini working bee.
Help create our new hedge, we are asking you to bring your gardening gear to help with putting in a plant or two at the end of the session.
