Dear all
Just to confirm the meeting next Saturday 1st December at my house. The
address is The Map House, Vernon Avenue, Oxford, OX2 9AU, phone 01865
721644 or 07854 761302. The house is the last on the left at the end of
Vernon Avenue and there's plenty of parking in the approach to the field
outside - I recommend reversing up to park at an angle to the hedge
boundary of our garden, so that you're facing the right direction for
leaving when it might be dark. The U1 bus is also an option, with the
terminus at the Harcourt Hill campus of Brookes being less than ten minutes
walk away - see attached map.
If you know you're coming, it would be helpful to know so I can look out
enough cups/mugs for tea/coffee - but do come even without letting me
know! I have one TBH in the garden to which I've added cork insulation and
some records showing the temperature variation in the hive (both above
where I think the bees are and at the other end) compared with the outside
temperature. I also have a second TBH that I'm in the process of
insulating - suggestions for improvement welcome! I look forward to
hearing other people's experiences with winter preparations - and anything
else...
Best wishes
Gilliane
