Educational Resources...
The combined knowledge base of many individual beekeepers is
quite useful... As there is a range of age and experience as well as
individuals that have experienced beekeeping in other countries and
climates. Different perspectives occur between hobby beekeepers, semi
professional ones and those that have beekeeping as their main source
of income.
Microscopy is often a problem as individual beekeepers can
rarely afford a top class instrument. The L&RBKA has a high
specification microscope and closed circuit television monitor that
can aid demonstrations and lectures. We also have overhead projection
facilities for transparencies and computer generated video. These
facilities can be accessed and used at the Brooksby site, with prior
notification to the
Apiary Manager
The breeding program has at it's disposal a range of nucleus
boxes ranging from five frame types to half frame mating nucs.
Grafting can be practiced as well as
instrumental insemination. Coaching can be
arranged in any particular technique.
