Wally Thrale - Beekeeping
Club members please log in for more information.
Wally Thrale started keeping bees in 1988 on a small scale but gradually increased numbers over the years. When he retired from his ‘day job’ seven years ago he decided to become a semi commercial beekeeper, so beekeeping now takes up a lot of his spare time in the summer months.
Vote of Thanks - Rotarian Leslie Knowles
A very interesting talk on the life of bees and beekeeping. Wally explained how the hive worked, the role of the bees to the Queen, how honey was produced, swarming, predators and the upkeep of the hives. All of this was illustrated with an excellent slideshow. The members thoroughly enjoyed the evening and this was illustrated by the many questions. And to cap it all, Wally had jars of his own produced honey and honey marmalade which were quickly snapped up!'What We Do' Main Pages:
