The new BBKA Pictorial Guide to a Healthy Hive
has been given much publicity via the monthly BBKA News. It was just finished in time to be rushed to the 2009 Apimonda conference where it won a Gold Medal in the multi media competition. It’s a photographic guide to hive health and is designed to help new and improving beekeepers spot whether things are well or not in their colonies.

David Haigh and Robin Tomlinson visited Temple Newsam apiary yesterday to discover that the apiary had also been visited by a woodpecker, which had made holes in five hives - all occupied. This is the first time David has seen woodpecker damage in 30 years of beekeeping. Robin fits old CDs to hives as deterent. See photos in Apiary album 2010102
