Meetings Latest

Meetings are held monthly on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon often at a working apiary throughout the summer months and are of course dependant on weather conditions. Not for us! but the bees!

We have some spare protective jackets, hats and veils etc. for visitors to use if needed.
Light refreshments are usually provided and it is always appreciated if members, visitors and guests will inform the host or secretary of their intention to attend.

With the beginner bee keeper in mind. Meeting subjects are usually demonstrations or talks by experienced beekeepers based on an aspect of beekeeping according to the season.
ie: Colony health and husbandry, Swarm control, Honey extraction etc.

Burnham Division meeting dates are subject to change at short notice due to weather and availability etc.

please check with the Secretary, your email or the www.rooksbridge.org.uk for late changes.
