VIRTUAL HONEY SHOW The UK National Honey Show Executive Committee has reluctantly concluded that because of Covid19 it will not be practical to stage the Show this October. This is not a decision we have taken lightly. There are too many unknowns and our first priority is keeping everyone safe. However, the Show will go on – virtually! We are busy planning and we hope to provide a series of prerecorded workshops and lectures with live Q&A’s and some social events in the evenings. A virtual trade show is being discussed and I am certain lots more ideas will develop. Visit: www.honeyshow.co.uk Bob Maurer, Chairman, National Honey Show
VIRTUAL CARIBBEAN CONGRESS Due to the current global health crisis, and unclear international travel protocols, we have decided to take a blended approach of engaging regional and international colleagues virtually, along with local participants from St Lucia within social distancing protocols for the 10th Caribbean Beekeeping Congress in November. The virtual engagements will include: • Panel discussion on country reports from the region. All reports will be on our website for prior review • Panel discussion on the development of apiculture in the region • Keynote presentations Visit:
