Whilst, we did cover some allotment business (see minutes). The main event was for listening to our guest speaker, Tony Lack from the Wokingham Beekeepers Association

Another great presentation, I did not know the life of bees were so involved.

Many thanks go to our secretary Wendy Wilkinson for managing to capture all that she did for these minutes.

Hi all,

Just a short reminder of our next monthly general meeting at the Oakwood Centre in Woodley on the 10th November at 7.30pm,

We will have a short update on Allotment Business items followed by a talk from a Tony Luck who is the Learning & Development Officer for the WDBKA – a local beekeeper association. Tony will talk to us about Bees, their habits and biology and their management. He will touch on the differences between Bees, wasps and Hornets (including the invasive Yellow Legged Hornet) and between Honey bees and Bumblebees.

He will look at the way bees live in synchronicity with plants and trees and with the changing of the seasons. Tony is also a Wokingham Beekeeper who has been keeping bees for over 5 years manages around 15 Honey Bee colonies in various apiaries in the Wokingham area.

The talk will last for about 45 minutes. Looking forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Many thanks &
Kind regards

Mike McNamara
Chair – WATA Committee
