Dingwall & District Beekeepers Association

August 20th 2022 heather picnic

Our thanks go to David Cathie, our host at Fannyfield, David Thomson and Don Fraser who were brave enough to let others work on their colonies. Also, our thanks go to the Estate Management for providing space for the colonies and the Association's access to the site.

The promise of a good meeting.

Ready and waiting for instructions from our hosts.

The objects for the afternoon.

Not often you see sections in use, especially in conjunction with normal supers.

Everyone paying attention

The start of something interesting.

Supervising the removal of the section crate.

Looks as though there will be some success.

The purpose of the afternoon to establish the success of the colonies.

The spoils of the afternoon - 6 frames for cut-comb BUT it shouldn't have been placed directly on the ground.

The best way to conclude an apiary visit.

Did we really deserve these superb cakes.

The end of a most enjoyable afternoon.
