Apiary inspections
During the active beekeeping season we hold weekly or fortnightly inspections of the apiary hives, which all members are welcome to attend. Inspections are held on Saturdays at 12:00 noon and usually take about two hours. Normally two committee members will be present to oversee the inspections, and other members are encouraged to come and contribute at whatever level they are able.
