Front cover: Training a new bee keeper at PBK Centre Gwenynwyr Cymru #186 3 Hydref 2014 Editorial Sue Closs The seasons seem to rush past especially preparing the magazine for the season ahead. Everyone seems to be having a very productive and often frantic time with their bees – scrounging or borrowing equipment as the honey has kept flowing and from the number of alerts for local beekeepers to assist with swarms over the passed weeks, I think everyone must have more colonies than they started with in the spring. Apart from all the hands-on activity there has been an extraordinary amount of interest in making contributions to the magazine for which I am extremely grateful. You will see that we have a wide diversity of topics and I am glad to tell you that almost every offering has found a place in this busy edition even though it is a little cramped for space and we will all need to don reading spectacles. Frank Gellatly has written an article to remind us about preparing the hives for winter. Wally Shaw continues his theme on swarming and prepares the way for his next magazine articles on swarm control in time for next May. The booklet “Making Increase” provoked a letter to which Wally has responded (page 42). Letters “To the Editor” are very welcome. Paul Eades has updated us on the progress of the Pembrokeshire Beekeeping Centre which is going from strength to strength. An article on bee photography from Barry Griffith shows how to make use of the digital camera settings to get the best out of photographing bees. I hope this inspires more people to have a go and if possible send me photos as home-grown are always better and if I have to resort to photographic libraries, not only do I have to pay, but also most of the archives are American. Lynfa Davies has provided us with a comprehensive list of successful entrants to examinations and importantly changes to the examination system which have been accepted by WBKA Council and will affect examination entrants from March 2015. Working with other organisations is exemplified by the signing of the concordat with Natural Resources Wales to facilitate beekeepers using land managed by NRW. Adam Thorogood of Llais y Goedwig introduces the Startree Project in “Bees in the Wood” which outlines work being undertaken to explore honey and other bee products as non-wood forest products in a European project involving universities, small businesses and rural development organisations. Finally, due to pressure of multiple commitments, I am starting to look for a successor to the role of Editor of The Welsh Beekeeper so if you think you could have the time and skills and would like to explore the details of the post, please contact me.

Gwenynwyr Cymru #186 5 Hydref 2014 Chairman’s Report * Adroddiad y cadeirydd Jenny Shaw What a glorious summer we have had so far. I trust that your bees are in as good condition as ours and that all your supers are gainfully employed. The weather was great for the Royal Welsh Show and I enjoyed meeting so many of you in the Honey Show section in Glamorgan Hall. During the Show the WBKA signed a concordat with Natural Resources Wales to facilitate beekeepers wanting to keep bees on land that they manage. Over the next few months the details of the agree- ment will be finalised and posted on our website. The presence of hives on land encourages the creation of more flower rich areas to support the bees. The more wild flower rich areas we create in Wales the better the forage for not only honey bees but for all insect pollinators. We hope that this collaboration will be beneficial to beekeepers and their bees. In June the WBKA was asked to report on what it had done to support the Welsh Governments Action Plan for Pollinators since it was launched a year ago. Our re- sponse can be found on the WBKA website. However we are aware that the Bee- keeping Associations around Wales are involved in many and diverse projects that benefit pollinators. We would be interested to hear of these projects so that we can ensure that the Welsh Government is aware of just how active the beekeepers of Wales are. ******************************************** Mae wedi bod yn haf bendigedig hyd yma ac rwy’n mawr obeithio bod eich gwenyn chi mewn cystal cyflwr â’n rhai ni a bod eich supers yn gweithio’n galed. Roedd y tywydd yn wych ar gyfer y Sioe Frenhinol ac roedd yn bleser cwrdd â chy- maint ohonoch chi yn ardal y Sioe Fêl yn Neuadd Morgannwg. Arwyddwyd concordat yn ystod y Sioe gyda Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru fydd yn hwyluso pethau i wenynwyr sydd am gadw gwenyn ar y tir maent yn ei reoli. Dros y misoedd nesa’ bydd manylion y cytundeb yn cael eu gwireddu cyn eu cyhoeddi ar ein gwefan. Mae cychod gwenyn ar dir yn hybu creu ardaloedd llawn blodau fydd, yn eu tro, yn cynnal a chadw’r gwenyn. Y mwyaf o ardaloedd llawn blodau byddwn yn creu yng Nghymru›r mwyaf o borthiant fydd, nid yn unig ar gyfer gwenyn mêl ond hefyd ar gyfer yr holl beillwyr eraill. Rydym yn gobeithio y bydd y cydweithio yma o fudd i wenynwyr a’u gwenyn. Ym mis Mehefin gofynnwyd i’r Gymdeithas adrodd ar y cyfraniad rydym wedi gwneud, ers ei lawns blwddyn yn ôl, i gefnogi Cynllun Gweithredu ar gyfer Pryfed Peillio Llywodraeth Cymru. Mae’n hymateb ar wefan Cymdeithas Gwenynwyr Cymru. Rydym yn ymwybodol fod llawer o’r cymdeithasau cadw gwenyn lleol ledled y wlad hefyd yn ymwneud â llawer o brosiectau gwahanol sy’n fuddiol i beillwyr. Byddai’n braf clywed am y prosiectau hyn fel y gallwn sicrhau fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymwybodol o ba mor weithgar mae gwenynwyr ein gwlad. The Welsh Beekeeper #186 6 Autumn 2014 Gwenynwyr Cymru #186 7 Hydref 2014 Signing the Concordat: Professor Peter Matthews, Chairman of Natural Resources Wales and Jenny Shaw, Chairman of WBKA The Welsh Beekeeper #186 8 Autumn 2014 Message from the President David Culshaw I am writing this on my return from a scorching hot week at the Royal Welsh Show at Llanelwedd, and I was delighted to see that there was a considerable increase in the entries for the Welsh National Honey Show. My congratula- tions to the winners, and my thanks to all who took part. I am loath to quote names as someone always gets left out, but many thanks to the members who erected the W.B.K.A. stand and those who manned it throughout the Show. There was considerable interest by the public in all things related to ‘Honeybees’ and brisk sales of Welsh Honey. Congratulations to Brecon and Radnor B.K.A., who were featured county, for their very eye catching and informative stand which attracted many visitors. On Wednesday we visited the Natural Resources Wales stand, when Jenny Shaw on behalf of W.B.K.A signed a concordat with N.R.W. who were eager to sign up the W.B.K.A in their plan for pollinators. Good to see that pollination is a hot topic, and honey bees are high on the list. I was proved wrong when I said in my last message that swarming was com- ing to an end this year, as most beekeepers I am sure are tired of phone calls requesting help with swarms.

The objective was to assess the current availability of domestic crop and forest residues; dedicated biomass crops; green waste and waste from the paper industry. Current competing uses for these materials were identified and the potential to expand the resource examined. Impacts of regional and temporal variability were considered and data on costs and composition were collated. The analysis highlighted that the UK has nearly 16 million tons of biomass waste arising from the feedstocks studied. The greatest contributions to this total are from green waste, agricultural straw and a significant amount of waste paper that is currently collected but not recycled in the UK.

  • "Improve Your Bees and Beekeeping"
    BIBBA Conference. 6 th - 9 th September 2018. Royal Agricultural University. Cirencester "Improve Your Bees and Beekeeping" Presenters and Presentation s Present er: Jo Widdicombe. Cornwall . Jo Widdicombe is a bee farmer in Cornwall running over 100 coloni es for honey production and queen rearing. He has selected his stock from local bees gradually refining the strain by working towards a near - native bee. He is the President of BIBBA and is the author of the book, "The Principles of Bee Improvement". He bel ieves we have to strike a balance between maintaining genetic diversity within our bees and working within a strain that has some uniformity. In this way we can produce robust bees in which the offspring produced resemble their parents. This allows continu al and sustainable selection and improvement of our stock. Presentation : " Improving Bees - What Works For Me " Jo talks about how he has developed a strain of bee from his local stock. The strain is uniform enough to produce offspring like its parents, bu t genetically diverse enough to be a sustainable and hardy population. He explains how imports of exotic strains of bee damage the development of local adaptation and undermine efforts to improve the quality of bees in Britain and Ireland. He suggests ways in which we can move forward with bee improvement, whether by working in groups, by developing our local and near - native strains or through the development of local or regional mating stations. Presenter: Roger Patterson. West Sussex. An engineer by tra de, Roger was brought up on a farm in West Sussex and started beekeeping in 1963.

  • D.G.E Davies: 1920 - 2008 Cofio Defi Fet: Pencampwr Yr Hen Egwyddorion Undodaidd
    yryr ymofynnyddymofynnydd £1.50 Rhifyn Gaeaf 2008 D.G.E DAVIES: 1920 - 2008 COFIO DEFI FET: PENCAMPWR YR HEN EGWYDDORION UNDODAIDD Gartre yr oedd y sylfaen, lle’r oedd straeon a dywediadau’n cael eu hadrodd a’u hail-adrodd dro ar ôl tro. Straeon am bob math o bobol – y parchus a’r adar brith - a phob un yn cael eu derbyn a’u hanwylo. Pobol oedd ynghanol pob stori – hyd yn oed y straeon am ei flynyddoedd yn fet. A’r adnabyddiaeth yna o bobol, y profiad a’r doethineb, oedd yn sail i bopeth yr oedd o’n eu gwneud. Nid dewis oedd gwasanaeth i ardal iddo ef, ond greddf. Ymweld, cydymdeimlo, rhoi cyngor – dyna yr oedd rhywun fel fo i fod i’w wneud. Roedd hi’n ffordd o fyw. Hanes a gwleidyddiaeth oedd ei ddiddordebau mawr, o Frank Lloyd Wright ym Mlaenralltddu i wybod enwau holl frenhinoedd a breninesau Lloegr a llwyth go dda o’r prif weinidogion. Dyn ffeithiau oedd o ... roedd yn gwybod ei stwff ac wedi fy nghywiro sawl tro. A’r felltith oedd ei fod yn iawn bob tro. Hyd yn oed yn y misoedd ola’ roedd o’n darllen llyfrau hanes am Gymru a Cheredigion ... hanes oedd yn hen gyfarwydd iddo, ond roedd eu darllen yn atgyfnerthu ei wybodaeth ... bron iawn fel pe bae’n gwneud yn siŵr fod yr awduron wedi cael pethe’n iawn. Ro’n i’n gallu dychmygu Defi Fet wrth ochr Gwilym Marles adeg helynt Llwynrhydowen a’r gwrthdaro mawr rhwng y capeli a’r landlordiaid – petai yno, fe fyddai wedi cael ei anfon i siarad efo’r Sgweier a’r asiant i drio’u cael nhw i weld sens.

After careful consideration, I would like to take this opportunity to respond to the recommendations made in each report ahead of the Plenary debate on the general principles of the Bill on 16 January. Health, Social Care and Sport Committee Recommendation 8. We recommend that, if the Bill proceeds to Stage 2, an amendment should be brought forward to ensure that Judicial Review is not the only route available for individuals to assert their rights. I accept the principle behind this recommendation, but having given careful consideration to the relevant issues, it is with much regret that I am unable to implement it at this time. The overall purpose of this Bill is to ensure the needs of children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Wales are met, and to protect and promote their rights. It would be of great concern to me therefore should those whom this Bill seeks to help are unable to seek appropriate remedies if their needs are not Cardiff Bay, Cardiff, CF99 1NA - Bae Caerdydd, Caerdydd, CF99 1NA Tel/Ffôn: 0300 200 7216 [email protected] / www.pauldaviesam.co.uk met.
