2nd Apiary Meeting

Thursday 24 April 2025 at 6:00 pm

HSBKA Branch Apiary

We are going to try have a dedicated evening and time slot for inspections this year, similar to Kidderminster BKA. We decided to avoid weekends as people are often busy, but we can review this if necessary.

From this Thursday, 17 April we will inspect the bees at Prestwood weekly between 6.00 pm and 8.00 pm, although the temperature may be a limiting factor.

This week as it is only a few days since the last inspection, we will be just checking the 3 hives where we did a manipulation, so we do not intend to inspect all the hives. For those there last Saturday, I am sure you agree it will be very interesting to see what has happened in the Nuc where Lyndon set it up so the foragers from the drone laying hive were flying back to the nuc with a different queen.

THE VENUE IS HSBKA Branch Apiary

The postcode for nearby buildings is DY7 5AL . To access the apiary coming from Stourbridge on the A449 shortly after Prestwood Aquatics on the left, turn left onto The Oval / Boundary Lane ( Prestwood Farm Feeds is on the corner).

There is also a a sign to the Coach House cut into the stone on the corner.   Follow Boundary Lane over the river Stour and when the road splits, bear right through the iron gates and the log cabin is on the left.

You can park on the road by the Log Cabin
