The 54th Annual North East Beekeepers Convention

‘Beekeeping in a changing and varied environment’

 

The year 2010 marks the 54th year of North of England Beekeeping conventions

North of England Beekeeping Conventions have been held since 1956 (with the exception for 2001 due to foot and mouth disease). Convened by the beekeepers of Northumberland, Newcastle, Durham, and Cleveland, the conventions are renowned for their friendliness and comradeship. The conventions feature speakers of national and international stature and this year is certainly no exception. The speakers this year are Margaret Thomas. Clive de Bruyn and Alison Hiles who between them will give five very interesting lectures.  Please come and join us in Durham this year and help to contribute to our annual beekeeping fellowship, you will not be disappointed! 

 

The University of Durham Botanic Garden is situated near Grey College and as guests of the College, you are free to wander there as you please. The nearby Oriental Museum is also well worth a visit, as are numerous places of interest within the City of Durham, in particular the Cathedral and the Castle.
