SUMMARY:SBKA AGM
DESCRIPTION:In addition to conducting the mandated proper business of the Sussex Beekeepers’ Association\, the 2024 AGM will also have a special emphasis and theme. \nGiven the dramatic increase in the Asian Hornet nests found in 2023 the theme will be the Asian Hornet and what we need to do to help combat this threat. \nTo this end Dan Morgan\, our seasonal Bee Inspector and invited speaker\, will talk about tracing the Asian Hornet nest in Eastbourne and his experiences with other nests in the South East. \nThe HWBKA are hosting the SBKA 2024 AGM and at the HWBKA AGM recently there were numerous DIY Hornet Trap entries in the DIY section\, and these created a good deal of interest. So\, there will also be a DIY Trap competition open to all divisions which should be interesting\, fun\, and drive-up awareness and attendance. To keep on top of the AH threat it will be increasingly important for cross-division and cross association collaboration so a good attendance should be focus. \nAfter judging of the traps there will also be a substantial prize for the best entry. \nThere will be a mead tasting and the other usual refreshments and cakes. So\, in order to help with the catering it would be extremely helpful if you can indicate whether you intend to attend using the form link <<- here ->> and whether you might be providing an Asian Hornet Trap entry (N.B. you can enter on the day\, but it would help if you can indicate ahead of time) .
