There has been a special treat this winter with extra lecture video releases. Just before Christmas, Grace McCormack’s lecture: “What we can learn from wild honey bees” was released https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRywONwvSnE and next Friday 13th January, at 5.15pm local UK time, Dara Kilmartin’s lecture on Bee Vision and its adaptation to key visual tasks will be released www.youtube.com/@NationalHoneyShowUK/videos.
In the lead up to the centenary show next October we will be releasing some of the live social media footage from the 2022 show as YouTube videos, so look out for those as well. They include an introduction from Bob our chairman, a chat with our Wax Chandler sponsors, a visit to the skep making workshop, and our Judges Steward, Enid’s commentary on the judging in action on the Thursday morning.
So do plan your visit to next year’s show at our wonderful venue, Sandown Park Racecourse. The venue has a strong environmentally friendly engagement with their vast grounds. As you can see in the photo of the main entrance driveway, they have underplanted replacements for diseased trees with heather which had been covered in bees in the autumn. And there are more interesting plans for the future.
If you want to get involved and have a few hours or half a day to spare, please volunteer as a steward, we need you know more than ever for the 2023 show, please contact Bill: chiefsteward@honeyshow.co.uk.
