PBKA at Peebles Show

The association had a stand at the Peebles Agricultural Show at Nether Horsburgh on Saturday 13th August.

Since we were next to the food stalls, plenty folk stopped to try some honey. Peebles honey was unanimously the favourite.

Honey tasting and other products of the hive

There were a couple of bee themed quizzes, wax and candle products, and a full size hive ready for inspection containing real honey and photos in the brood frames.

The stall was busy throughout the show and several people showed an interest in finding out more about beekeeping. Hopefully we will have some new members as a result.

Several members helped man the stall during the day and had an enjoyable time explaining about bees and beekeeping.
Thanks to all for helping out on the day.

Association Apiary Visit 14th August

Sorry about the late notice but we have decided to cancel the association apiary visit scheduled for tomorrow 14th August.
The road will be closed at Neidpath and there is no great urgency to inspect the bees.
We may go next next weekend, so look out for the emails or check the website.
