Co. Cork Beekeepers Association arranged one of Europe’s most sought after beekeeping lecturers and authors Celia Davis BSc., NDB & Warwickshire Beekeepers’ Association to present a number of lectures over two days in Oriel House Hotel, Ballincollig, Co Cork, on 8th & 9th of March 2013.
Some members from the Westport Beekeepers Association travelled to Cork on Friday and sat in on the lecture at 7.30pm and listened to Celia talk about “Challenges of Beekeeping “before retiring to a very comfortable and affordable B&B next door to the hotel.
Next morning ‘bright as shillings’ refreshed fed and watered, gathered with an audience of beekeepers, in the region of a hundred people from around the country to listen to Celia continue from where she had ceased the night before!
On the agenda for the day she planned to talk about ‘Bees, plants and the environment’, ‘Communication and control in the swarming process’, and ‘The world of the Honey Bee Queen’ The day just flew, saturated with information, weary and tired the crew returned to Westport before midnight.
We would like to thank the Cork Association for their hospitality; an enjoyable time was had by all.
