The BeeHolder, April 2010

At the time of going to Press the data for winter losses have not yet been compiled so it is too early to get the picture of the 2009/2010 winter . SBIs John Beavan and Peter Guthrie will give details when they have them. They would still like to inspect losses if people want to get in touch with about it, particularly if there are a few dead outs.

Regional Bee Inspector John Verran is retiring in April . His replacement has not yet been selected. I know I speak for the whole association when I extend a thinks to John for all his help to us and to wish him a fulfilling retirement.
