Club Meeting - Dan Basterfield

Dan and his father Ken run practical beekeeping courses from their honey farm in Devon. They are both well-known on the beekeeping circuit. Dan is a Master Beekeeper, a BBKA examiner and helped write their ‘Course in a Case’ for beginners, on which we base our own beginners course. 

Simple Queen Raising: The bees can do it, so can you! Aiming to raise perhaps half a dozen queens to use for re-queening or making splits, we look at three very straightforward approaches that require little fiddling or additional equipment: making queenless nucs, the Demaree method, and the

Miller method.
