You could throw more into the mix if you like. Giles Budge is talking about their random apiary survey and maybe we could entice a certain human neurobiologist along?!
I have paid £25 to see that, well, the Giles Budge part of it at least. And the other talks too.
Anyway, in the conflict you refer to I think the pen is mightier than the sword. Or something.
Click the link above for the full details but the talks are:
Giles Budge: Random Apiary Survey - What a Whopper!
Giles Budge: Recent Advances in the Understanding of Foul Brood
Terry Clare: Taking the Present into the Future (a talk on breeding)
Willies Robson: Reflections on Beekeeping with an Emphasis on Colony Survival.
£6.25 per talk ..... coffee, lunch, and tea amazingly all part of the deal. Trade stands.
Hurry hurry, tickets will not last now that they've been advertised on SBAi!

Gavin: yes I know Power of The internet. Probably i could order frames and other bits and bobs there, but ;)
I spent tuesday night on buying another 2 nucs, then organising material for two new hives. As I am kind of skinned lately plus I want to do something on my own as thats good way of learning. (especially that every mm matters in terms of beespace. Yesterday I decided to use light weight gloves, not to use smoker and not to talk to bees when I wanted to rearrange those three new colonies. I was rewarded with several stings on my left hand and I cannot see single vain there anymore ;)
So i guess I'm not a virgin anymore.
Thats why I was looking for something closer ;)
Anyhow - walls are made, top and bottom runners are routered - tomorrow I'll assemble hives.

Gavin,
You on commission for selling tickets? Ben B is organising my ticket I better tell him to hurray before it is a sell out
-
No commission, just a wee warm glow for being a good boy and flying the flag, not that the SBA has a flag that I know about.
We don't have Willies on offer, just one Willie (wee typo there).
Should be a good day though, and a great opportunity for folk to put names to faces with boyish good looks such as Jimbo! 5:57 on a Saturday? Are you another one of those people who lie awake in the morning thinking of bees?!

I'm a morning person but had to get up extra early to get to Fort William for our day trip on the Jacobite Steam Train to Mallaig (Hogwarts Express ) Can recommend the fish and chips from Jaffy's in Mallaig. Did see some colonies of bees though from the train window at Corpach just outside Fort Bill
-
Amazing how we tend to notice them, isn't it? I spotted some somewhere near Helensburgh from the Oban/Glasgow train ...
