We will be extracting at the Chapel and John Glover is dealing with bookings. I understand he is fairly close to filling all spaces. There is a lot to do and we will be short of space, so can't have too many bodies.</p><p>The clearer boards will be put on during Friday evening and honey removed on Sat Morning. This will leave all colonies with no supers and only the clearer boards to remove. We have 5 Demonstrators unavailable and several will be organising extracting. With a large number of colonies I am concerned about robbing, so will probably only quickly open those with clearer boards on to prepare for the return of the supers in the evening.</p><p>For that reason the apiary session will largely be a discussion on a number of things we need to deal with at this time of year e.g.</p><p>1. Removing, extracting and processing honey</p><p>2. Dealing with supers</p><p>3. Treating for disease</p><p>4. Feeding.</p><p>5. Preparing for winter</p><p>6.

"Month","June","N","<p>Due to the recent lower than average rainfall experienced in many parts of the South East Region it may be that colonies are running very low on honey stores, particularly if a spring crop has been removed.  It is possible that a summer honey crop will be much reduced or even non-existent in some areas, as ground water levels are low and plants struggle to produce nectar.  It is not uncommon for colonies to be starving in the traditional 'June gap' period and I am therefore advising that beekeepers keep a close watch on honey stores in their colonies and feed with sugar syrup or candy if required.</p><p>Alan Byham</p><p>SE Regional Bee Inspector<br />The Food and Environment Research Agency - National Bee Unit</p>",

"Sun 26","Apiary Meeting","N","<br />Following on from Tom's message about this meeting can I add to his reminder that those in the Advanced group are welcome to attend the whole meeting where they will be added to the Intermediate Group. Can I please ask those in the Advanced Group to only handle a colony if everyone in the Intermediate Group already has, otherwise you may open a colony twice and someone else not at all. Tell the Demonstrator why, so it doesn't look as if you are declining, something we only normally allow with a genuine reason.<p>As this meeting is likely to be more hectic than normal and Jane Moseley will be giving a short presentation, can I ask you to be there with a bit of time to spare as I will need time to organise groups.</p><p>Thanks,</p>Roger",

"Wed 06","Apiary Meeting","6:30 p.m. &nbsp; BBQ","<p>On 6 and 7 July the apiary will be used for filming for a BBKA video on queen rearing. There is a lot of planning to do, but I think most of what is needed can be done with what we have.</p><p>I may need some outside help as the bees may not always do what I want, especially with the awkward season we are having. If you have any colonies that will have swarm, supersedure or emergency cells at the time I would appreciate it if you will let me know. They should not be interfered with i.e. some cut out. I may also need queenless colonies that will build queen cells as I need several lots in different stages. This may suit you if you have a colony that needs requeening as there will be plenty of queen cells and/or queens. If you can help I would appreciate it, but please let me know ASAP so I can plan for it.</p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Roger</p>",

"Fri 05","<span style='color:red;font-weight:bold;'>Bee Health Morning</span>","N","<p>A Disease Recognition Workshop will take place on Friday, August 5th, commencing at 9.30 and running through to lunchtime.</p><p>This workshop has been devised as a hands on event to help beekeepers recognise bee diseases, and the exotic pests that are now notifiable. There will be samples to show you (subject to availability). It is most important that all beekeepers are aware of disease and can recognise both EFB and AFB. This is particularly relevant at the present time, as several instances of EFB have been identified in our immediate area. Around 80% of cases are spotted by the Bee Inspectors. If foul brood is spotted by the beekeeper it is usually in a very advanced state that could have spread infection to surrounding colonies.</p><p>Please note that prior booking of a place is essential and if attending, <span style='color:red;font-weight:bold;'>it is important that you read the attachment</span>, <a href=\"WGBKAdocs/Bee Health Bio-security issues.pdf\" > <span>Bio-Security Precautions for the Bee Health Day </span></a>.</p><p>To book your place, please contact John Glover preferably by Email glover.fletchingshollow@gmail.com or phone 01403 751899.</p>",
