About this Event
Norman has been keeping bees for over forty years and has been a bee research scientist for thirty. He has lectured about bees on all continents where bees are kept, written many scientific papers, book chapters, conference contributions and popular articles, has edited several books and regularly appears in the media in many countries.
A large part of his research work focusses on the genetic lineage of our native honeybee. He is part of several initiatives that monitor winter losses, the success of both managed and feral colonies, as well as trying to understand the genetic make-up of our bees and how that might lend them success. His talk to the CBKA will cover all this and more. For example, how much better do locally adapted bees overwinter? What impact do introduced queens and nucs have on the gene pool? Should we be importing bees to help improve our stock?
Come along to this free event and find answers to all these questions and more. There will, of course, be refreshments and chat with fellow beekeepers afterwards.
