Our Annual Bee Safari is a great day. We visit the apiaries of members of the association, in a different area each year. It is really interesting to see how others are set up and the locations they are using. We have our National Bee Unit inspectors with us and they will lead and inspect all the colonies and point out instances of pests and diseases as we go.
You will need to bring a packed lunch and water, but we will be meeting in a building where there are toilets and water
If you want to be part of it, our places are strictly limited, you need to pre-book with Jon Tuppen, who has kindly taken over and organised the apiaries we are due to visit in 2026, around the Sproughton and Copdock area this year. Reserve your place by emailing jon.tuppen@btinternet.com. Further details when your place is confirmed.
It is essential that your bee-suit is spotlessly clean, along with new or clean gloves and boots. The last thing we want to do is import something awful into someone else's apiary!
