The Crowborough Horticultural
Society are looking for someone to talk to them about bees on 23rd February
2021 at 7.30pm at the Crowborough Community Centre. The subject could be anything you like in
relation to bees as the topic is so important to any gardener.
Please contact me if you
can help and would like more details.
Out-Apiary Offerred
We have a member offering to host
two hives on his land in a protected garden area in the middle of two acres of
wildflower meadows, just south of Dallington.
He can keep an eye on the hives but doesn't want to be ultimately
responsible for them. He would also like to observe how they are kept by a
skilled bee keeper.
Please contact me if you
can help.
Honey Warming Cabinet
We have a member looking for someone
willing to lend or hire out a Honey Warming Cabinet.
Please contact me if you
can help.
Beeswax
We have a member looking to
purchase about a kg of beeswax. They are in Groombridge and will collect.
Please contact me if you
can help.
