Apiary Visit Andy Burne 4 July 2010 |
|
|
|
|
With a gusty wind and heavy rain showers in the morning, I don't think anybody thought they would be looking inside bee hives, including host Andy Burne! Not to be deterred however, Andy had laid out a selection of equipment in his (extremely ordered!) garage and the 22 club members who turned out were encouraged to discuss various aspects of equipment, technique and disease control.
