Dr. Bodgit goes beekeeping: DIY for beekeepers.
Prof Evans is coming back on Tuesday 30th October: “Dr. Bodgit goes beekeeping: DIY for beekeepers”. David (aka “The Apiarist”) explains how to: “Make the stuff you can’t buy … that works better … with as little bloodshed as possible”
It’s hopefully both fun and informative. He’ll cover making hive components – but not hives – such as roofs, floors, clearer boards, crown boards, split boards etc. He’ll also cover foundationless frames, nucs, honey warming and bottling. We’ll see how much time is left but can cover other topics as well. He’ll bring examples of some of these things (if they’re not in use on his own hives). There will be a smattering of beekeeping info thrown in as well.
Venue: Community Centre, Peebles, 7.30 start.
