Bee Health Day
This will be an all-day event led by Dan Etheridge, Regional Bee Inspector for the Central Region which includes Northamptonshire. Dan has extensive experience with the NBU and has recently played a leading role researching Tropilaelaps in Thailand. He’ll update us on the threat posed by this mite during the day along with the latest activity on Yellow Legged Hornet.
The event will be supported by Dan’s team of Seasonal Bee Inspectors from across the Central Region including Northants, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire.
The day will cover various aspects of bee health and hygiene including chronic bee paralysis, varroa treatments and an opportunity to view diseased combs of foul brood so you’ll know first-hand what to look out for when inspecting your bees.
It will be a relatively early 9.30 start for registration and you’ll either need to bring a packed lunch or make use of the Community Centre café. The event should finish around 3.30pm.
We hope you’ll join us for a very informative and worthwhile day.
