Bathurst Beekeepers Secretary

Club Apiary - help from members required
Although almost enough frames were assembled, wired and embedded with wax for two bee boxes at the November meeting this number was a long way short of the immediate requirements for the club apiary. Is there anybody able to lend a hand and, at the very least, wire up some already assembled frames as soon as possible to keep the club apiary viable?

If you are willing to contribute please contact David O'Leary bathurst.vp@beekeepers.asn.au or Gus O'Leary bathurst.apiary@beekeepers.asn.au  and arrange  to pick up some frames from Kelso and help out during this busy time.

Proposed Bathurst Beekeepers Christmas Gathering
A proposed club event for December 15th combining a factory tour and a social gathering at the Beekeepers Inn, Vittoria on the Mitchell Highway is being investigated. It has been noted, however, that the advertised hours of the Beekeepers Inn are 9 am to 5 pm seven days a week. This means that such an event may need to be rescheduled for a weekend time slot in the New Year. 
There will be another communication in a few days advising you of the outcome.
