Annual UK Hive Count

[Finman]

That is good...we get nothing.

I do not know what idea is in that 15€. Formely retired people (>65 y) did not get that money.

To a commercial beekeeper that would be a good help, at least pay for treatments and part of the winter feed bill.

Into schemes to promote good environment (forage etc) for all pollinators.

Not going to happen, but as mentioned earlier with a percentage of it would be good.

15 euros a hive is better than nowt. Meanwhile they can stick the census up their underfloor entrance where wasps don't fly.

Do they really.

Lol.
Reminds me of teifi coracle mens motto "cadw'n ddistaw"( keep quiet). You only get to hear of the good runs when they've long gone up.

Do you know JBM I'm not sure. When I first joined in 2012 they had quite a bit of money they were spending on roadshow equipment and kitting out the new apiary. I felt sure it mentioned EU funding in one of the newsletters. I've had a look. They are not archived that far back so apologies if I am wrong.

That sounds like the Eva Crane money - we spent ours on queen rearing equipment Swansea on their new bee tent

 

[Teemore]

Do beekeepers in Ireland get direct financial help from the EU fund, discounted treatments, hives, payment towards restocking, etc?

Not that I know of.... I think it goes into a central pot. Some probably goes to FIBKA for education but not certain about that. The likes of MAry Coffey and Grace McCormack get some funding towards apicultural research so beekeepers benefit indirectly from that research. They certainly don't pay for bee inspectors.

I can't recall 2012 very accurately, but could that money have been from the kind and generous bequest left to Welsh Beekeepers by John Hall?

(IIRC about £500 was given to each association - was that approx. the sum?)
