We haven't seemed to get any closer to getting our bee's since my last post, in fact we may be further away, we had in our heads that we would get a swamp between Spring and Summer next year, but have since found out that this maybe a little presumptuous as there will be 15 newbees' (sorry) on the list next year and this year the IWBKA only produced 12 swarms. I am trying to be positive about this, by thinking we will be more prepared and have longer to save for the equipment, but I am not a very patient kinda girl!
I am still reading and the debate Rose v Nationals continues. Father Christmas may be bringing the children bee suits (at their request believe it or not), so we are investigating were to get them from as well.
For anyone who is on or is visiting the island there is going to be a honey show at Arreton Community Centre on Friday 26th and Saturday 27th October hosted by the IWBKA, we are hoping to go along and have a taste and maybe meet some experts, but until then thanks for stopping by.
