GUEST SPEAKER Liz Baker—Dindi Bee Supplies

Liz passed on lots of information and anecdotes about her passion—bees.
She included details about their sex lives, their roles within and outside the hive, how the queens are chosen and how the hive disposes of those they don’t want.
There were never ending questions at the end of her talk and our chairman had to cut them short. Liz invited anyone interested to go and talk to her about bees in her new Yea premises.
