- introduction / updates – some beekeepers already seeing losses this winter – others all is good
- Rob recommended “Skep beekeeping in the Heathland” youtube video for anyone interested in how skeps are/were used for beekeeping
- hoping to have the summer bee tour in late June or early July, in Bracebridge or Gravenhurst preferably – if anyone is interested in hosting please talk to Rob
