We had our MARCH meeting.
This is the summary of the minutes.
1.Inspections.
Our next meeting could be our first inspection, depending on the weather . . . so meet at the Apiary.
2. Planning ahead.
For bee inspections when the weather is bad and decisions have to be made quickly it can be done by text
3. Recording. We will stick with paper records as a regular thing. We are grateful to Judith for transferring everything to computer but some people have trouble opening her spreadsheet - this needs some work before it is useful.
4. New members. We agreed to put our group on to the Bugle contact list with a note saying 'new members welcome'. Regular articles are a good outreach. We will re-visit whether or not the web site is of value at our next meeting.
5 Numbering of hives. To avoid confusion we agreed that hives should be numbered on the stand (not the hive) and the numbers will go from 1 nearest the gate to 5 nearest the wall.
6. And finally : the Bakewell Green Festival, Saturday 12th July at the Agricultural Centre. It was agreed that we would borrow the Derbyshire Beekeepers demonstration hive (subject to availability - and take it in turns to look after the stall.
