when time permits. To the best of my
knowledge all the links on the left are active and much information can
be gleaned from them. To find information about events in
your area please visit your local BKA website.
I have included a few good future events below that I know
about. Roger Patterson.

There are
many events throughout the beekeeping calendar. These vary from the
local BKA to international events. All of them should add to your
learning, but you should make sure that what you learn fits in with
your management system. If not, then perhaps you can modify what you
learn, or your own system to suit.
The local BKA events can
often be the most suitable, as they have presumably been organised by
people who know your conditions and situation. If not, then have a word
with your organiser - they often need feedback.
If
there is a larger event, such as a county, national or international
event then have a look at the programme to see if the content suits
you. There is no point attending if you are going to waste a day.
