Beekeeping Forum Newsletter.

[BKF Admin]

i think a newsletter is a good idea!
can you get insurance WITHOUT going through the bbka?

Should be able to.
Thats what I am having a meeting about in the new year.

I like the idea of a newsletter, it has a distinct advantage if it can be printed at home.
One of the reasons a lot of readers may not become posters is (dons tin foil hat) that the majority of beekeepers are not that tech savvy. A newsletter that members could print and distribute would certainly spread the word.
Certainly a supplier list would be a very useful addition, could this maybe take the form of a thread where suppliers can list their wares and prices.

This new (fabulous) forum is surviving and indeed growing through the dark days of Winter. Spring and Summer are better times for interest in beekeeping.

I am not sure we/you Admin need to worry too much. Success breeds success.

Other forums would wish to be this bussy in Summer, so things are going right for this forum NOW.
A news letter sounds good, but ...I think the buts have allready been covered.
I think if you (admin) can sort out an insurance option for people, that would be better time spent (for now) in increasing this forums stance over others!

Thanks Jim,I think you are right,Insurance should be the first priority.

Have you tried Bayer headquarters. Most likely find there no in the good beekeeping guide.

Mike, the first date is the date that you started your policy.
The 28th October date is when the BBKA main insurance is due to be paid by the association.

The main BBKA policy is with Royal & Sun alliance.

You can contact the BBKA regards an insurance claim,if you cannot get a reply then maybe go through the associations broker:
