Summer Field Day A field day will be held on Sunday 21st February, starting 1:15pm, at Whitemans valley. This will be a practical demonstration of Queen raising and Queen introduction. Enquires to Bill Allan (938 1377) or Richard Hatfield (528 7780). See page 3 for additional details. Honey Extractors The Wellington Beekeepers Association has two extractors for hire by members. Contact MaryAnn Lindsay (ph 478 3367) if you wish to arrange to use one of these. Historical Items The Wellington Beekeepers Association is over 50 years old. It would be really great to get some material or stories from the early days of the club to post onto our web site. If you have, or know anyone with any suitable materials or stories to tell, contact James Scott (565 0164) or (editor@beehive.org.nz) to organise for collection of the information. The PMS and DECA You should all have received explanation papers and a form for completion in respect of the new pest management strategy. These came from AgriQuality New Zealand as agents for the National Beekeepers Association. Please bring any questions about these papers or forms to the meeting to ensure that everyone fully understands what this is all about, and what our obligations are. This topic will be discussed at a future meeting, and the club is currently investigating opportunities for every member to become an "approved beekeeper" who is allowed to inspect their own hives. |
