NIHBS Conference

Over the weekend, OpenHive were one of many beekeepers to attend the annual National Irish Honey Bee Society conference in Tullamore. We heard some fascinating speakers talk about a range of beekeeping topics, updates on the work being done by NIHBS and more. Some of the standouts for us included Roger Patterson’s discussion about colony increase, Grace McCormack’s work from NUIG and Andrew Abrahams’ talk about his island beekeeping and consrrvation work in Scotland.

We also met many of the beekeepers we have worked with and hope to work with in the future. It was a very well structured and attended event and we hope to attend again next year!
