Bee project needs helpers in Norfolk

[picton farm]

I need some help to build some hives for a community project. We have them, just need to put them together. I was going to do it all myself but am pregnant and struggling. I am happy to teach beginners how to put them together ( a very useful skill) and I will provide tools and refreshments. We can work inside in my workshop or in my dining room if it is too cold. We are located near North Walsham in Norfolk. I am happy to give some basic lessons in return for the labour.
If any experienced Beekeepers want to help then that would be wonderful too and I will try to find something to barter!
Im keeping my fingers crossed we have some members in Norfolk!

Can I claim expences for travelling, or mortgage for a second home?

Sort of, but me too.

Indeed there are.

Not really brilliant with wood but or instructions (man thing), but ok at hammering screws in.

"The Beek Society"?

Just what i like to see - beeks looking to helping each other out.

I'm determined to do regular good deeds this year (in spirit of DCs vision) - after all i work in Borough of Sutton which is a trial site for Big Society.

So far have sorted out a Lidl Boiler for Mons. Abeille and an oxalic treatment and fondant top up for goodbobby.

Does that mean you get extra CCTV cameras and a bar code on your forehead?!

 

[drstitson]

presume so.

although i think volunteering to feed hungry mastiffs would be a step too far.

Beat me to it! I was born a brummy, I have screw-hammering genes.

 

[tonybloke]

there's several beeks in Norfolk who are on here.
if you get stuck, give me a p.m., I'll happily help.

rgds, Tony

Hive Buildathon

Sounds like a practical working day with an ad hoc social event in the making.

All that is needed now is a fine day of good weather.

Just as a matter of interest, how many boxes are there to assemble and how many roofs and floors? TBH's or National?

[Hombre]

I suspect RAB that probably less parts than the potential volunteers, but it could be a very useful social event for the locality.

'bout time something worthwhile happened here,,,,

 

[picton farm]

Not too much

There are 11 national brood boxes and frames, 7 floors/ roof sections, and just 5 supers and frames.
We also need someone who can make us up some plywood nuc boxes for queen rearing
