January
Around 40 people attended our first meeting of 2025 on Thursday 2nd January. In addition to members there were several potential new beekeepers who are soon to commence the FDBKA beginners course.
The main part of the evening was a team quiz where six teams of mixed experience answered beekeeping related questions set by quizmaster Alan Baxter. The 3 part quiz was challenging for most, especially with the tough adjudicating by Greg Young. The Workers team were victorious with a total of 37 points.
We also made some very helpful income from the sale of second-hand equipment – some snatched up at bargain prices by those beginners.
Quotes of some attendees:
“Was great to see so many people there and was nice to see the enthusiasm the newbies had and the welcome they were given.”
“What a lovely evening. Lots of fun. Lots of people. Brilliant!”
