PBKA Pub Meeting 5th July 2017

July is often when a local honey crop can be had in the Peebles area. Lime trees will be flowering this month and hopefully providing the bees with good forage.

Keep up to date with the local beekeepers and find out how the season is going.

Some Association nucs have gone to new homes and other colonies may need temporary or permanent homes.

The native bee project is under way.

Lots to discuss on Wednesday 5th July at 7.30pm in the back bar of the Neidpath Inn in Peebles.

All welcome.
