“Bee Improvement for All”
In conjunction with the Bee Improvement and Bee Breeders Association (BIBBA) YBKA will be holding “Bee Improvement for All” days on the 10th November in York and 11th November in Huddersfield, to attract as many Yorkshire beekeepers as possible. We are delighted that Roger Patterson has agreed to lead both day
These are all day events aimed at encouraging all beekeepers to improve their bees. The purpose is to help all beekeepers to continuously assess their colonies, so they have a good idea of which queens to cull, and which colonies to take queen cells from when they need new queens.
There will be tuition on how to raise queens using queen cells that bees often present us with during the summer, as well as some simple “artificial” techniques that may be suitable for the more advanced beekeeper, or those working in groups.
