Yellow Legged (Asian) Hornets: The discovery of a secondary YLH nest in Oldham this August (see HERE for details) highlights the need to be vigilant and fight the spread of this destructive invasive species. We are developing a network of volunteers to monitor for YLH across Sheffield. Information is available on our dedicated page, and the link to volunteer is here. Thank you !
Beginners Course 2027: The SBKA will once again run its two part beginners beekeeping courses early next year. These are intended for anyone interested in bees and beekeeping (Part A) and for those wanting to actually start keeping bees in 2027 (Part B). Part B provides a more in depth / practical guide and includes access to our network of mentors and a discount on our locally adapted nucleus colonies. For more details and sign up information see HERE.
Meetings: Please join us for our regular monthly meetings held on the second Wednesday of every month at Hallamshire Golf Club, Redmires Road, S10 4LA from 7:30pm. This is preceded by a beginners session hosted by Bec and Mark, our in-house Master Beekeepers, between 6.45 – 7.20pm before the main talk.
