EWBA Membership Fees for 2020 are now due.

You are fully insured for your Beekeeping activities through membership and you get your monthly copy of the beekeepers’ magazine An Beachaire.

Your membership provides for attendance at all lectures free and insures you for visits to the Apiary.

People cannot attend the Apiary if they are not EWBA Members for purposes of Insurance.

We are trying a series of Mini Lectures this month.

The idea is to have some of our own members tell us about something that they have found useful and that may be of interest to other members.

It also gets us used to giving a talk to groups.

Each lecture will be approx 20 minutes and there will be time for questions.

Lecture1..A Kerry Man’s Method of Swarm Control..Anne Marie Fogarty

Lecture 2..Queen Rearing using An Incubator..James Maher

Lecture 3..Keeping Bees on a Roof in an Urban Environment..Peter Fitzgerald

The AGM for members of EWBA will be held in the Roanmore Centre at 19:00

It would be great to have as many members as possible present.

Nomination Forms have been sent out.

agenda and Reports to follow.

Our first lecture after the summer is on Wed 18 Sept in the Roanmore Centre at 7PM

The lecturer is Jim Ryan from Thurles. Jim is a beekeeper with 35 years experience and was former chairman of North Tipperary Beekeepers’ Association. Jim is currently the chairman of Galtee Bee Breeder’s Group

The topic is Wintering the Bees, looking back over the summer, preparing for winter and looking forward. Jim brings some of his own unique experience to the topic.

Jim is an interesting speaker and we hope to see many members on the night.

Our chairman Willy O’Brien will give a presentation on the Leader Funding project also.

Be thinking of topics/workshops you would like us to organise also.
