Introduction to Queen Rearing by Philip Latham Trustee HBA and South West Hants BKA
Like many of us I began beekeeping on a whim 8 yrs ago. I quickly discovered this interest is dangerously addictive needing increasing input each year.
Keeping bees is not a solitary endeavour and through your local, regional and of course national associations strong friendships develop based on your shared interest.
I am working my way through the BBKA modules and also passed the Microscopy section last year. As a trustee of the HBA I represent the interests of all beekeepers in Hampshire.
As well as my own, I now also run the South West Hampshire apiary and believe that teaching others and developing your own knowledge base is the key to rewarding beekeeping.
