Bees in a house wall in Normandale-Tirohanga area. Anybody want to remove them and get a little honey on the side? Contact James (565 0164) for details.

There will be a follow-up disease inspection in April to check hives in the Upper Hutt area that were either missed in the spring, or are in apiaries containing infected hives at that time. Following a successful operation to detect and destroy hives with AFB in the area last spring, the club would like to attempt to eliminate possible sources of re-infection.

Note this date now! Saturday 8^th or Sunday 9^th April. Phone Frank Lindsay for details.

The club's annual mead competition will be in June (or possibly July), so members should be planning now on making mead. There is a recipe on the web site, and James has a copy of a paper on mead making. Anyone who would like a copy, please see James at the meeting.
