BIBBA Workshops

The workshop idea

An idea originally floated by Albert Knight and others, for UK honey bee clubs and associations to be visited by a travelling workshop that BIBBA would prepare and take to the location of a group of beekeepers, provided there were sufficient beekeepers attending to make it worthwhile. Expenses being funded either by making a charge for those attending or meeting these out of the funds of the Association being visited. It being up to the Association or group to decide.

A travelling workshop could offer...

  • demonstrations on grafting of larvae

  • making up mini-nucs

  • morphometry

  • opportunities for those attending to have 'hands-on' experience

  • pure bred Apis mellifera mellifera bees could provide the larvae for grafting

  • these grafts could be put in a cell-raiser if this was prepared beforehand

  • queens raised could be sold by the group to help with funding the visit

Workshops

BIBBA can run workshops providing hands-on experience of colony assessment, morphometry, and/or queen raising, tailored to the requirements of a particular group of beekeepers.
