At our November meeting we were lucky enough to be able to watch a pre-recorded presentation given by Prof. Giles Budge. The presentation contained a lot of information about the work and research that is taking place to try and find out how the virus spreads, what external factors may make the bees more, or less susceptible to getting it possible ways to help stop your bees succumbing to it.

At this year's County Honey Show, Rugby Beekeepers were presented with the 'gift' honey from the show together with £80 that was the result of competitors 'buying back' their own honey.

At our last committee meeting it was decided that both the honey and the money should be donated to Myton Hospice.
