SUMMARY:YL Asian Hornet Update
DESCRIPTION:The number of sightings of the Yellow Legged Asian Hornet will doubtless continue to rise and will inevitably occur even closer to Calderdale and Kirklees. \nRecent genetic studies would also suggest that we now have an established population of YLAH in the UK. \nRichard Searle will be updating us on what we should be doing and when. \nA supply of Trappit will be available for distribution at the meeting

SUMMARY:Working together to minimise risks of foulbrood
DESCRIPTION:As many members know\, we have had a significant outbreak of AFB and EFB in the Halifax and District area in 2025.\n This meeting will help us work together as individual beekeepers and collectively to reduce the risks and future spread.\n We will look at how to identify the foulbroods\, how to improve apiary hygiene and husbandry to reduce your risk. We will also demonstrate shookswarms for disease prevention and discuss swarm collection strategies to minimise risks.\n\nSpeaker  – Kay Phillips\, Seasonal Bee Inspector\, North West England team.

SUMMARY:Making better bees: stock improvement for the hobby beekeeper
DESCRIPTION:We all want better bees – be that better tempered\, more productive\, improved and frugal overwintering\, disease and pest resistant\, more long-lived queens. \nKarl Colyer has been keeping bees since 2003 and makes his living from the 80 colonies he runs from his base in Cheshire. Being a professional beekeeper having the best stock possible is of paramount importance. \nKarl takes a do it yourself approach to beekeeping\, building his own hives and other equipment from salvaged materials – see his many articles in BBKA News – so don’t expect him to be advocating spending cash buying in expensive queens. The bees you need will already be close to home\, most likely in your own apiary here in Calderdale. \nKarl will cover how he appraises his colonies\, and how you too can decide on which are your best queens. He will then outline simple methods\, well within the capabilities and budget of the average small-scale beekeeper or beekeeping group\, for raising the excellent queens you want\, based on his experience of producing well over 1800 queens in his beekeeping career.
