It was very well received at our assoc- raised a lot of discussion, and sold a lot of Kingspan for our local builders merchants!

I enjoyed the Basingstoke talk, very informative.

Of course it leaves a complete newbie like me wondering where to start, I'm not sure I could build a PIR hive without having a conventional hive as a reference for the finer construction details.

ps. The wife says polyhives are ugly, there is a certain style/feel to a cedar hives that can't be beat however bad they might be for bees. Maybe PIR with a wood veneer cladding is the way to go.

Don't despair bob, wood hives have seen me through 30 years. Ok, so my bees could produce more honey, they could be bigger hives, they could use less winter stores, but do they want to do any of the above? Do I need them to do any of the above? Not really. They give me honey, they live well, they look good.
I love them as they are!
Sorry Derek , see where you are coming from but not for me

Quite right, afterall you have 30 years experience of keeping bees. Obviously doing something right.

I usually rely on BKA invitations ... furthest your way has been Brighton so far.

Doing one up in Leeds in April but thats related to the computational Fluid dynamics software i use and then theres the BBKA spring convention.

Get me an invite to your BKA would be your best bet.

Do you think other beekeepers who give talks to other beekeepers around the UK should post all their bookings on this forum ? Maybe we should have a separate section for it ?

maybe we could title it and add a strapline - something like:

Beekeeping association news/chat Do you have an event planned ? Connect with other local beekeepers and chat about beekeeping in your area/association.

it would certainly help BKA commitees trying to find/sample speakers and help them boost numbers of attendees from nearby BKAs
also another way of finding out about talks going on in your area
