to Demonstrate

The members of our local beekeepers association came to visit my apiary today.  It was far too hot to do too much work with the bees but I was able to demonstrate how the hives that had prepared to swarm were dealt with and show the progress of the newly founded colonies.

However the most memorable part of a beekeeping do, is having the tea and delicious cakes afterwards.  Mrs BK excelled herself. 

Before the beekeepers departed I was able to give a short demonstration of extracting and bottling honey.
