As part of our 2014 Spring lecture Series CCBKA had the pleasure in welcoming Bernard Diaper to give a lecture on Bees and Beekeeping Abroad and to hold a Honey Show and Judging workshop. The workshop and mini honey show was to show beekeepers what happens behind closed doors at the judging section of a honey show.
There was a good turnout of entries considering it was March and it was a very informative day. Our thanks to Bernard.
