A day hosted by the WBKA in conjunction with the National Bee Unit focused on helping beekeepers better understand bee health, including handling frames with AFB and EFB so that they know how to recognise such diseases.
Saturday, 11 October 2025 – 10am to 4pm
A fantastic day out for people thinking about taking up beekeeping, as well as old hands who want to learn a whole lot more.
