As meeting restrictions have eased, the group had an informal get together on February 18 at the South Grafton RSL club. Discussions included delivering information talks and hives to local schools, the increase in hive beetles noticed in the area, a novel device for viewing & transporting solitary bee nests and the proposed Grafton show display.

Our next monthly meeting will be on Thursday March 4 at the South Grafton District Ex-Servicemen’s Club 5:30pm at 2 Wharf Street, South Grafton.

Anyone wanting to learn more about our local bees or become a caretaker of rescued hives, can join our group or attend as a visitor.

Please contact Carol on 6643 3750 if you are attending so she can keep track of numbers.

Any urgent bee rescue enquiries, please call Bronwynn 0427 690 971 (rescue hotline).
