beekeeping friends and associates 

For the Kendal & South Westmorland Beekeepers, 2020 was, as for most of us, a difficult year. In order to protect our more senior and medically vulnerable members many meetings were cancelled and although a few Internet Conferenced meetings were conducted we missed the face-to-face comradery of the association’s usual warm and friendly meetings. That said, both the active School Bee Clubs continued to function, inspiring the next generation of beekeepers, all within strict COVID-19 Government guidelines, and with the positive consent of the parents and teaching staff. All examinations for the BBKA’s certificates were cancelled but we are starting afresh this year with support teams to commence where we left off with Basic and Honey Bee Health certificate courses.
