Due to changes with our venue and availability of our small voluntary committee we won't be holding a convention this year. We'll be using 2020 to modernise our organisation and look for a new 'home'. If you would like to get involved in our transformation drop us an email.
The convention speakers have arrived. They’re looking forward to presenting their thrifty beekeeping thoughts at our convention tomorrow. A small number of tickets available at the door, which opens 8.30am
Such a sweet raffle prize for any mini beekeepers in your life! It’s not too late to grab a ticket for our event at bit.ly/NEBEES2019

Dorian Pritchard will be selling his artwork at our event next week. Pictures and cards will be available on his stand.
We love to hear about examples of thrifty use of bee products. Take a look at these gorgeous beeswax candles made in old mugs. Do you have any ideas to bring to our ideas wall?

Honeycomb999 have kindly donated a set of their sections for our raffle. Some of our committee have been using them very successfully. Spot the honey goodness harvested last July after the oil seed rape crop.
As well as our packed programme of talks, we also have our informal buzzcasts - opportunities for anyone to share something beekeeping related that others might be interested in. This year we are excited to hear from Ponteland High School on their adventures into beekeeping
Our lovely local fizzy pop producers @FentimansLtd are supporting our event with a generous donation to our raffle. Less than two weeks to go!

Hoping to see some of the #beekeeping students from Kirkley Hall @NorthlandColl at our convention in two weeks. With discounts for those under 18 (when accompanied by an adult), it's a great way to get to know others who keep bees in the region
