SKBA monthly meeting will take place next Thursday, 6th May, 7.30pm in the Parish centre, Church of Ireland, Carlow rd, Athy.

The format for the meeting will be discussion and sharing of bee expertise among old and new members. Burning issues and current queries can be raised and hopefully answered.

As many as possible experienced Beekeepers present at the meeting would be greatly appreciated.

Knowledge shared among inexperienced and new Beekeepers will help promote the skills to ensure the progression of successful beekeeping in our area.


The agenda for the meeting will include an apiary report and development of a programme for managing the apiary at Barley hill.
