200 years of experience in 1 hour

Four beekeepers, lecturers at our 2023, centenary National Honey Show, with well over 200 years of beekeeping experience between them, three with over 50 years each, have an impromptu discussion about their experiences - a sort of beekeepers “jam session” (with apologies to musicians). This may include how they have managed situations that have been thrown at them unexpectedly, which may not be found in books. Knowledge and skills built up through many years of working with and observing colonies of bees can be very useful when solving problems in the apiary. All four come from different areas, with different climates, different bees, different legislation, etc. They discuss topics that are relevant to all beekeepers, each from their own perspective.
