BIBBA Conference 2014

[Rosie]

Hi All

I haven't been on here for a while but I'm glad to see it's still thriving.

I have great news for native bee enthusiasts as well as anyone else who might be interested in improving their bees or learning more about natives and near natives.

BIBBA have been busy planning their next biennial conference and have some early information which is ready for release.

It coincides with BIBBA's 50th year as well as SICAMM's biennial conference so they have joined forces to produce a bigger and better conference than in previous years.

Details below:

The BIBBA 50th Anniversary Conference combined with the SICAMM Biennial Conference

BIBBA (Bee Improvement and Bee Breeders' Association) is pleased to announce their 50th Anniversary Conference in collaboration with SICAMM (Societas Internationalis pro Conservatione Apis Melliferae Melliferae) their European partners, hosted by South Clwyd BKA.

The conference is open to everyone and the focus is on bee improvement and the management of native and near native honey bees. The three day Conference will take place from 26th – 28th September 2014 at the Pavilion, Llangollen, North Wales, where delegates will learn about improving their own stocks of honey bees, whilst enjoying an excellent and varied social programme.

For those wishing to extend their visit, the Llangollen area benefits from stunning scenery and a variety of activities and culture to suit all tastes.

Current plans are for 3 simultaneous lecture streams covering all levels from basic methods of beekeeping and making increase, to advanced queen rearing and academic studies.

Further details about the venue and Llangollen can be found on: llangollenpavilion.co.uk

There is plenty of exciting stuff in the planning stage for the conference but I can't say too much until they are confirmed but it's showing all the potential of a truly memorable event.

I hope to see plenty of you there.

All the best
