Newbury and District Beekeepers’

Association

What future for honeybees?

Max Watkins

 

Friday 12th March 2010 at 7.30 pm

The Sutton Hall,  Stockcross,  near Newbury,  Berkshire

 

Newbury Beekeepers’ Association warmly invites you to the 28th annual Leaver Memorial Lecture, to be given by Dr Max Watkins who is research and development director at Vita (Europe) Ltd.

 

Vita is a small British company (based in Basingstoke) with an international involvement in honeybee health.  They develop, manufacture and market a range of honeybee health products to customers worldwide.  Existing products include Apistan and Apiguard, and there are new products under development which emloy natural and synthetic and biological preparations.

 

The lecture is free and all beekeepers in the region are most welcome.  We should therefore be very grateful if you would publicise the lecture amongst local beekeepers and colleagues – and through your magazine or newsletter if appropriate.

 

The lecture will be held at the Sutton Hall, Church Road, Stockcross.  The postcode is RG20 8LN.
