On Monday 15th April, I was invited to give a talk to the Weybridge Beekeepers Association, of which I am a member, on my experience of beekeeping so far.
Giving a presentation to beekeepers, some of whom have been beekeeping for over 50 years, isn't easy. I stuck to explaining some of my experiences so far.
One point that caught the attention of some beekeepers was the idea that Beekeeping can be used as a way of people having more of a stake in the wellbeing of their local natural environment. Similar to how some angling associations have a vested interest in protecting waterways.
