Yes, we'll definitely be putting together a "who wants swarms" list this
year, probably mid March. The earliest swarm I've known in Oxfordshire was
on the last day of March one year. They generally begin in earnest, late
April.
Hope you enjoy BeeTradex!

Paul,
Very sorry, would love to come but I'm supposed to be going up to
Beetradex up in Stoneleigh that day.
Also, just wanted to ask if you're going to be making a list of those
looking for swarms this year?
Regards,
Rich

Hi folks!
Mary has kindly offered to host the first meeting of the year, on *Saturday
9th March* at *11:30AM. *There will be a *pot luck (bring & share) lunch.*
*Address: 26 Quarry Road, Oxford, OX3 8NU*
Mary warns *"The numbers in the street are weird, jumping from 18 to 26
to 34, I think, so drive slowly..."*
*Parking:* there is no restriction on parking on Quarry Road at the
weekend. There is also parking up the drive for 3 cars, but be aware you
may get parked in there until everyone else has left.
*Agenda:*
- Tea & mingling as people accumulate
- Look at hive in garden - a Warre with added insulation
- Lunch & discussion (preparation for the new season, etc). Please
bring one dish to share.
- (We may help move the hive a couple of feet too)
Please say if you intend showing up so Mary knows how many teabags to buy.
Paul
