Covid-Impact!
Rugby beekeepers typically offer an introduction to beekeeping course each year in the Spring.
Many of those who have attended have continued their interest and become beekeepers, which is terrific, but not essential. There are those who simply want to know more.
The Rugby Beekeeper's Association will be hosting or attending the following events in 2021:
Dear Members,
Well, here we are at the beginning of the Beekeeping season and hasn’t the weather given us a surprise early Spring in February! However, as you know, our British weather is remarkably changeable and Climate Change has exacerbated this, so now is the time to be especially vigilant in caring for your bees.
Tips for the Month:
On a warm day, 15deg C+ do a quick inspection to make sure all is well. Just open the coverboard and check that colony is covering about a third of the frames - similar to its size in September.
Rugby Beekeepers’ Artisan Honey - straight from our hives to your table – 100% pure honey.
Our hobbyist beekeepers house their beehives within the wider Rugby area and their bees forage for nectar within three miles of the colony, so local honey means local.
