Hive Audit Weekend

All welcome to participate, members and non-members

Due to the recent increase in AFB incidents around Southland, the Southland Bee Society propose holding a volunteer hive audit working bee, early in August.

The idea is to pair up club members and visit hives of anyone (member or not) that wishes to have their hives checked by an experienced beekeeper or two. 

AFB can affect any beekeeper, at anytime and is not a result of careless beekeeping. It is a devastating bacteria that is heartbreaking for any beekeeper to discover. 

The Southland Bee Society would like to extend support to all beekeepers around our Southland community by offering free disease hive checks.
