Happy New Year to you all. Sorry have not updated blog recently. Unfortunately my father was taken ill between Christmas and New Year and passed away on the 9th January and today we have the funeral. Sadly missed but he had a great life nearly reaching his 86th birthday.

Not too much to report on the bee front.  Have seen bees flying around the entrance of the hives when they have been warmed by the low winter sun. Each hive has fondant in place and next week I will check to see if this needs replacing.

I have booked my stand for the BBKA Spring Convention at the Harper Adams University College, Newport, Shropshire Saturday 21st April 2012.  Stand 17

I think will be better than last year, a new venue and all the trade stands will be in one hall, rather than numerous halls as at Stoneleigh.  Again I am sharing my stand, as per last year with Tim Jackson ( Honey Frame Packaging )

If you purchased the book – it would be great to meet you and hear how you are getting on.  If you haven’t seen the book, it will be an opportunity for you to a flick through a copy.
