Honey Show - 15 September
We had a great time at the club's Honey Show on 15 September. A big thank you to Otter Nurseries for hosting us.
​
We had a new judge Brad Davies who was ably assisted by one of our younger members Xavier. They spent several hours looking at, smelling and tasting honey, cakes and biscuits, burning candles and touching and feeling the wax exhibits.
​
Visitors to Otter Nurseries came for a chat, tasted and voted for their favourite honey and many bought some delicious honey from our apiary.
We had winners from across the board - beginners through to the more experienced beekeepers. Click here for the full list of results.
July & August
Summer activities
A 'quiet summer' allegedly.
Three of our club members took the BBKA basic certificate in July. All passed with credit - many congratulations.
​We had a great day at Burley Village Show and sold out of honey! Many thanks to everyone who came to support the stand.
A number of our members enjoyed exchanging beekeeping stories at our first social event at the club apiary.
