If you have bought next year's diary please make an entry for Saturday 13th
February.  Dorchester & Weymouth BKA in association with Dorset County Council
is hosting a seminar to be held in Puddletown Village Hall on that date.

will include Biodiversity projects on butterflies; the management of nature
reserves for butterflies; conservation of wasps, solitary and social bees; Dr
Beulah Cullen NDB, Regional Bee Inspector on the needs and benefits of bees;

and honey tasting followed by a closing session Biodiversity and beekeeping -

It should be a busy afternoon programmed to start at 2 and finishing at 5pm.
And its FREE.
