Events
We run a range of events are for education and training, such as our annual Tatser Day and Basic Certificate course. Our regular Apiary meetings fall into this category and the content is dependent on what the bees are doing.
We also have a monthly committee meeting and social where we carry out a small about of EGBKA business and talk about bees. This and the apiary meetings are good places to go for advice and support.
