2009 was an exciting year for the us in fdbka, we started an education apiary at a local farm centre. Although up close access to the hives was restricted for obvious reasons of public safety.
2010 - 22 new trainee bee keepers
As we rolled into 2010 Mike Holloway was almost overwhelmed with requests to take his introduction to bee keeping course. After spending 6 evening sessions in the classroom learning the basics the trainees were shown a few hives.
To every ones surprise they found a mouse nest.
More to follow during the 2010 year.
