Honey Show

The annual honey show is just a few weeks away.
The show will be held at Simpsons Garden Centre on Saturday 28th – Sunday 29th September.
Simpsons will have plenty of bee friendly plants in store and honey products as well as bulbs, seeds and books.

Meanwhile, Inverness-shire Beekeepers Association members will be on hand to talk about beekeeping along with our display hive.
The Honey Show will be open to all beekeepers while any members who enter can bring along honey for sale at the show. There are lots of different classes and all members are encouraged to enter as many as they can, even if it's just one jar of honey, a cake, or tablet.

If you're interested in entering have a look at the schedule below for class descriptions and rules.

A Thank You to Fred

Fred Millwood was recently called out to deal with a swarm in a tree near Cameron Youth Centre. Below is the email we got from them to thank Fred.

Dear All

Just a quick note to say 'Thank You' to Fred from the Inverness-shire Bee Keepers Association for removing a swarm so promptly yesterday afternoon (14/05/19) from by the car park at Cameron Youth Centre - Inverness.
There were user groups in, including children and his prompt attendance meant that the swarm was removed safely with no harm done to either them OR the Bees!
Our steward Kenny also learned a lot from Fred about bees during his visit.

We hope that the bees enjoy their new home.

Once again - thank you!
