Andy will be talking to the association by zoom on the 11th October 2022 at 7:30pm.
He will talk for an hour or so, then will take questions.

Andy retired as an Environmental Health Officer in 2018, but as a bee keeper he had already developed an interest in both the legal and practical sides of food safety in connection with honey production by bee keepers. In retirement he has continued to research this.

He'd met Claire Waring, then the editor of Bee Craft, at a course in 2008, and offered to write an article - this was serialised in Bee Craft in 2009; since then he's given talks at the National Honey Show and authored Central Association of Bee Keepers booklet "HACCP - the Science of Safe Food" . Latterly he's authored "Food Safety for Bee Keepers" published by Northern Bee Books and which is receiving good reviews in the Bee Press.

Andy's talk will deal with the food safety of honey production, from the hive to the honeypot and beyond"
