Overview

Mission

Education and promotion of beekeeping

What it reported doing in 2020

Several beekeeping workshops including a demonstration of how to inspect a hive, using wax and hive products to make cosmetics, soap and candles, building of robber screens and mite assessment methods were all demonstrated by recording the events and then posting the results. One workshops on building making sugar boards was held in person, but with appropriate distance, number of participants and face-coverings required. The bottom board projects was completed by one of the Association members making the board for all members so there was not personal interaction
