A nosema clinic was run by the Weybridge division. Members brought samples of their bees that were then inspected for the presence of nosema and advice given on how to deal with it. Below is a picture of a nosema sample taken on the night.
Surrey Beekeepers Meeting on Asian hornets
We hosted a meeting open to all members of the Surrey Beekeepers Association, on the topic of the Asian Hornet. The meeting was well attended. We are grateful to David Kemp, who came to talk to us and also to the BDI who sponsored the meeting. There will be write ups of the meeting the news letter but here is a first report from Richard Bradfield from the Reigate division. David kindly provided handouts on what beekeepers can do and on making your own hornet trap. Some pictures taken at the meeting are below.
