News from FBKA:

November's meeting is the last of the year, this Thursday 27th in Fermanagh House at 8pm. It is beginner's night where we will hear from new beekeepers about their first year. This will be followed by a chat and a cup of tea.

 

Please note that January is our AGM and dinner in the Enniskillen Hotel

​​

• We are attempting to set aside more time at the end for people to mingle and have a chat over a cup of coffee. This will hopefully give us a chance to ask any questions we have and gain advice from more experienced beekeepers on a one to one basis so I would urge you all to attend in person. Of course, the meetings will be available over zoom for those unable to make it.
