May's Open Meeting
Our next meeting is on Tuesday 25th June at the Wagon and Horses, Caythorpe, starting at 7.30pm. This is a change to the previously advertised topic and we will be mainly organising arrangements for our stand at the Heckington Show. Our stand at Heckington has won two Gold certificates in the past three years. It is our intention this year to promote the cause of wild bees this not just honey bees. This is Sleaford Beekeeper's most important engagement with the pubic. All members are requested to volunteer two or more hours during the show to help person the stand or to help set up the stand on the Friday evening. Non-members are welcome as always. A map is available here.
The show takes place on Saturday 27th & Sunday 28th July. All members are encouraged to enter the honey show. If you enter 15 entries across the show you get a free ticket of each day of the show. The full show schedule is available for download here.
We have a proposed list of meetings on our calendar page. These may be subject to changes due to absence etc. please double check here a few days before.
We have lots going on at Sleaford and welcome all levels of Beekeeper to come along and get involved, or just come along and get to know more about bees and beekeeping in a social environment.
