On Sunday 8th January 2012 there will be a meeting at the Branch Apiary to demonstrate the dosing of oxalic acid syrup for winter treatment of varroa and as in previous years there will be a supply of syrup packaged on a per hive basis for any that want some.
I would be grateful if those wanting syrup could contact me on the numbers below (e-mail preferred) to give me an idea of the quantity to prepare.
Any request for larger quantities than a few hives can be managed but I will not have any containers (35 ml per hive) so please bring a glass bottle or similar and I will need prior notice.
I am also preparing a more advanced course that will take the form of a series of lectures on bee husbandry in a little more depth that will cover parts of Module 1 and the General Husbandry exam so that those who have passed their basic exam will have the chance to further their knowledge.
The lectures will be on one evening each week and will be held in the Training suite at the Fort in Erdington. There may be a small charge for the lectures.
Would anybody interested please contact me and as long as there is sufficient interest I will proceed with arrangements for the course to start in the second half of January probably for a series of eight lectures.
