I'm doing the module 3 exam so we've got a workshop running in the new year. I've got a couple of talks to do (also available for weddings and Bar Mitzvahs) and write and I dare say I'll try and pick up a couple of new books to chew through.

Think it's time to start learning a little more about the internals of our little friends so that's my aim for this winter.

Finally, if I ever get the time I want to pull apart the database I put together last year and refine it a little more. It worked out reasonably well, but was far too complicated and asked for too much information. A couple of days experience with a bee inspector really opened my eyes to just how much/little information you actually need to record to get a decent picture of what's going on in the colony.
