Achievements and performance

The New BeekeeFers course was changed this year lo reduce partiupants to 20 in order
lo provide a more indusive experienc£ in the theory lectures bul also in the hands on
element where more time could be spent with each participant. This has proved lo be
POFxJlar with both participants and the apiary team so this experiment will continue into
2026 before reviewing. The reduction in New Beekeeper participants has allowed the
Apiary team to also offer sessions to members wrth limited experience lo gain
edueatK)nal support and wKlance'over the hwe..
The Scx)ttish Beekeepers. AssLxiation (SBA) module study grc4Jp conknnues lo be
pow12r with a full number of participants al both the spring and autumn lectures, with
some part￿1Pants taking and passing the exams.
This year we again thank the lecturers very much their dedication as the Association

members from the Dunblane arKI Stirting Beekeepers, Assocotion (DSBA) a$ well as
other asscciatsons could attend lo leam about bee health.
The apiary was Up￿8(*d during the year vthh an old hed98 whid) was in a poor state
being replaced with a new mrKlem fence which was met with grattlude by the
land0￿erS where ass()ciab"on awary is srted.
The website continues to be popular with the featu￿ already on the site being
supplemented by a regular"Bee Health. bulletin as well as a 'Swam Collection serV￿e.
which provides a seThice to people in the Slidingshire area lo allow members of th8
