Gormanston

Posted on July 28, 2015 by Jonathan Getty

Nice to meet up with a few of the Irish and UK beekeepers yesterday at Gormanston, Roger Patterson, Terry Clare, Aoife nic Giolla Coda, Thomas Ellis Ben Harden and many more.
Great lecture by Rob Paxton on varroa and virus.
The UBKA have got Tom Seeley as the headline act at the 2016 conference in March so that is a date to put in the diary.
