Cancelled, sorry about the short notice

Michael Collier is having an open day

It is not a BIIG event as such, but Michael Collier is a long standing member of BIIG and is having an open day again in 2007. It will be on the 1/7/07 at Cornbrook Bee Farm, Cornbrook Cottage, Nash, Ludlow, Shropshire SY8 3AU.
Michael Demonstrates queen rearing techniques and II.
It is one of the most informative events anyone could attend who has an interest in bees. Several BIIG members will be acting as stewards, Michael only has an open day every two years so the next one will not be until 2009!

BIBBA east midlands group Insemination Weekend

Another event that is of II interest that also does not come under the auspices of BIIG, is the insemination weekend conducted by Richard Jackman, Michael Collier and John Perkins for and on behalf of the BIBBA east midlands group. It takes place on a Saturday, when semen is collected with the insemination taking place on the Sunday. Again no details about dates as yet, but they will be posted here as soon as they are known.

National Honey Show
BIIG will again have a stand at the NHS, details will be posted when finalised.

BIIG AGM 2007
This will be a Saturday in November and is being arranged to fall on the same weekend as the BIBBA committee meeting, as this will aid the travel and sleeping arrangements of several individuals who are involved in both meetings.
