Introduction
Welcome to Lancashire Beekeepers’ Spring Convention. We are confident you will find the programme of speakers and their talks both fascinating and useful. The Convention’s programme is always designed to combine both the practical and the theoretical; and to encourage beekeepers to think about how they keep their bees.
Programme
The Speakers
Jo Widdicombe worked as a bee inspector for 5 years and now runs over 100 colonies, with the help of an apprentice, producing honey, queens and nucs for sale. Author of the book, "The Principles of Bee Improvement" which explains how to select and improve the quality of our bees from local stock rather than resorting to imported queens. Jo is currently President of BIBBA. Julia Piggott works for Bee Ed which is a not-for-profit business started in 2010 to provide information and education about pollinators, particularly bees.
