70th Birthday Celebration 27th of April (all-day) @ Passmore Edwards InstituteApr 27
This year the West Cornwall Beekeepers Association is turning 70! To celebrate this we are very lucky to be joined by the Chairman of the Bee Improvement and Bee Breeder’s Association Will Messenger. Doors open at 1030.
The History of Beekeeping in Cornwall (1100)
Honey Bees as Wild Animals (1330)
Will Messenger:-
Will was inspired to become a beekeeper (and take bees to the heather) by an aunt who lived within sight of Dartmoor and would tell him to ‘go and see if the bees have any honey.’ Finding her veil and smoker and working out how to use them was exciting. While training as a teacher, he was taught beekeeping by Maurice Calvert at Newton Park College. His first venture was wiped out by AFB and he regrets the loss of a dark strain that had arrived as a swarm. Following a career as a biology teacher, Will returned to beekeeping and is best known for his interest in beekeeping history. With Eve he currently operates 60+ stocks in the North Cotswolds. They are members of BFA and active in Gloucestershire BKA.
