Diseaseathon (again) Saturday 7th April. Meet at 8 am, Carpark behind the Upper Hutt Community Centre. This is a follow-up disease inspection 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. Mead Competition Monday 11th June. The club's annual mead competition will be in June, so members should be planning now on making mead. There is a recipe in this edition of the newsletter, and James has a copy of a paper on mead making. Anyone who would like a copy, please see James at the meeting. Buzz Weekend August 24th - 26th, 2001. A full weekend of training for all budding beekeepers or those who need to feel comfortable with bees. DECA Course run for those who wish to do it. (extra charge $25 covers test). Venue; Pohangina Valley Camp. Cost: $80 includes all meals, accommodation and course. Applications close June 30th 2001. Any questions call: Peter Ferris (06-378-7632), or Mary-Ann Lindsay (04-478-3367) |
