Autmn Convention

[Jimbo]

The conference was great. It was well organised and I found it was taken at a nice relaxing pace. There were plenty of breaks in between the excellent speakers and time to meet up with other beekeepers. I particularly enjoyed Dr Giles Burges's talks. I thought he presented well and although he was presenting scientific research it was presented in an easy enough manner for non scientists to understand.
One point of concern was the high incidence of Nosema C that was discovered fairly widespread thoughout England and Wales.
If a similar study was carried out in Scotland how widespread would it be here?
Re. The chinese honey. It was found to contain high amounts of antibiotics that chinese beekeepers were using to treat their hives. Imports were banned and any found in supermarkets were taken off the shelves and dumped
