So are we all going to get together and bid for Apimondia then?

[gavin]

Can't quite see it myself. Isn't it a bit like the Olympics? Try as you might to farm out little bits of it elsewhere, it would essentially reside in one place.

A great weekend with fantastic speakers. My best memory was of Jon's balancing skills at 1.30am as I left to wander through the miles of corridors to find my room. Need to check my Tesco vouchers to see if I have enough to get to the Ulster event in March

Great weekend. did not arrive in through the hall door till 1. 30 monday morning. Some of the other people on the bus had another 5 hours to go. I was guilty of propping up the bar on one of the nights with a few others.By the end of the night we had raised vast amounts of quality queens, uncapped tonnes of honey and there was no such thing as varroa anymore

Ethanol is the perfect catalyst to successful queen rearing it seems!
Good to meet up. We will get this big island west of Scotland populated with black bees sooner rather than later.
