February Webinar Bottom-Up Beekeeping with Ray Baxter
February Webinar Bottom-Up Beekeeping with Ray Baxter
In February with Ray Baxter, we explore how to use the debris from the hive floor as an indicator of colony activity and a way to interpret what’s happening inside and outside of the colony.
Ray’s passion for beekeeping started fifteen years ago when he was working as a biology teacher. His initial plan was to learn more about honey bees and share this experience with high school students in the biology classroom. This quickly developed from being an occasional lesson into an extracurricular bee club, to putting beekeeping on the school timetable as a Scottish National Progression Award (GCSE level) and supporting other schools with the development of their own beekeeping qualifications.
Our webinars are free to SBA members and £2 for Non-Members.
