BBKA Forum

Anyone making the journey to Harper Adams for the BBKA's Spring Convention?

The current price of diesel precludes it for me.
Shame BBKA doesn't shift the venues around more. Maybe have one in the North of England for a change.

Nope. Too far away. Northern beekeepers have no consideration in BBKA way of thinking.

I'm offering a prize to anyone who can find a 'Mick (heart) BBKA 'sticker.

Too far for the good to outweigh the bad but from the opposite direction in my case
I enjoyed the WBKA at Builth ,just an hour away,but that is usually now off the table for me with pandemics cancellation or work commitment

It's great to have a shindig but the lecture material and the equipment orgy is all online anyway.

Beetradex is going to be the British Beekeeping Show next year. At Stoneleigh.

I've only been to one convention which was the BIBBA do in the IoM a few years ago. Well organised by RP and with Randy Oliver taking a shot at BIBBA which was fun to watch and BIBBA took it gracefully. There were lots of other lectures, infact too many to get through.
I haven't got time to go to the Spring Convention this year - I would like to go one year but not this one. You always learn stuff, so especially if anyone is doing or thinking of doing the exam modules, it could be worthwhile popping in.
