Keynote Speech

The Keynote Speech will be given by Andrew Beer, the current chairman of North Bucks Beekeepers’ Association

Andrew’s talk will be on “Bees & the Law” Beekeepers and the authorities, to a lesser extent, do not have a sufficiently wide knowledge of the parameters of the law regulating their activities and may either fall foul of them or, through ignorance, may fail to take advantage.

Andrew does not require a fee for his services by has asked that a donation be made to “Bees Abroad”, a charity which he actively supports.
