Gwenyn Kernow January 2015 Founded Re-established 1881 1919 Cornwall Beekeepers Association (Cowethas Gwythysy Gwenyn Kernow) An Area Association Member of the BBKA Gwenyn Kernow January 2015 www.cbka.co.uk Charity No: 298470 ISSN: 1363-9862 This month’s picture: Steve Farnes (Liskeard Group) Geoff Roberts, Chairman CBKA It was with great sadness that we heard that Geoff Roberts, Chairman of CBKA, died on 20th January from melanoma cancer. Geoff first came to the notice of CBKA with the formation of the Kit Hill Group, where he was the driving force in setting it up, acting initially as its Chairman and later also as its Secretary. Later, at a time when there were a number of issues which had been on the table and had remained unresolved for (sometimes) years, Geoff was persuaded to become the Chairman of CBKA itself. He then applied himself to the improvement of our business processes, which has resulted in the CBKA running a lot more smoothly and efficiently. He also found our new Treasurer and, along with him, worked out a more equitable means of distributing funds to Groups – something that is revolution- ising the way our finances are handled at Member level. But it was not just processes that were Geoff's forte, of course - it was he who arranged the first Bee Disease and Husbandry Day, for example - an event which appears now to be turning into an annual affair. So, as you can see from these few highlights of Geoff's involvement in the CBKA, he has been a driving force for good - always fair, measured, full of ide- as and with the energy to drive those ideas forward. He has been instrumental in developing the Constitution to its present form and his experience and expertise have been invaluable in helping to change the CBKA into what it has become today. That will be his legacy as far as beekeeping is concerned, though I am sure, knowing Geoff as I did, that there will be numerous other areas in which he has had influence and shared his skills with others to the betterment of all. He was a most prepossessing individual and it is that quality that endures and one for which he will doubtless be remembered. Our thoughts are with his wife and children and I have written to them on behalf of us all to that effect. RIP Geoff, you will be missed by us all.

C.B.K.A. AGM Saturday 7th March 2015 As you all know, we have our AGM next month, which is being organised this year by Mike White and hosted by the Roseland Group (more about that from Mike later). However, one item of business that is always on the Agenda is the appointment of Officers. This year there are four posts for which candidates are being sought – Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary and Annual Delegates Meeting (ADM) representative. We think we might have a candidate for Julia's job of Secretary but if anyone else is interested then please do get in touch with her or me to discuss the situation. Julia has been Secretary for four years now, so she is due for a break! With regard to the ADM representative, Mark Hoult said at the January Council meeting that he is not sure whether he will be stand- ing again this year and, since Mark has been the ADM rep for many more than four years now, his comment is totally understandable. It is only right that Mark also is given the opportunity to hand over to somebody else, so again, get in touch with Julia or me if you wish to find out more or think you might like to take it on. Finally, if there is anybody who has experience of chairing meetings and would like to get involved with Council business, either as Chair or Vice Chair (male or female, as for any post!), then again, please get in touch with Julia, me – or indeed any member of Council. Contact details for all of us are on the CBKA website, cbka.co.uk . Filling these posts is vital to the successful running of CBKA, though none of them takes an inordinate amount of time. Since full Council only meets four times a year, the responsibilities associated with these posts normally come in short bursts, so the time involved is not onerous or excessive, and as we now have a Council which has a greater number of members, work can be shared amongst other, non-Officer, members should the need arise. Also, it is vital for the health and vigour of the CBKA that new personnel and new ideas are regularly injected into the Council membership when existing members stand down. It also means you are not committing to “life” on the Council should you volunteer for a post! Please give this matter some serious thought. It is vital that we continue to have a fully-functioning Council and it is your opportunity to influence the direction that CBKA takes in the future. Already we have seen new initiatives and procedures put in place, thanks to some of the new personnel, so let's have some more! We hope to hear from you.

The aim was to give guidance to members as to how to deal with the problem and to act as a link between members and other advisory bodies in order to obtain and give the best advice. At that time the role was entitled Varroa Liaison Officer. As varroa became more and more widespread and mem- bers became much more accustomed to dealing with it, it became apparent that the role could be widened to include all diseases. Disease it an issue that we all need to keep on top of. Varroa, of course, still remains and so still comes within the scope of the now DLC. Resistance to pyrethroids developed and new treatments became available. Beekeepers began using all kinds of concoctions and importing illegal substances to treat their bees. There is a continued need for guidance on the appropriate treatments available. In addition, foul brood diseases continue and the ever-ongoing risk of other exotic pests remains. It is necessary therefore for us all to stay alert to keep our eyes peeled for these thing. The role of the DLC therefore is to keep abreast of what is happening within the County and on the national scene and to offer advice where necessary. At times it might appear that nothing is happening and the DLC is not doing much. But if something does turn up, his/her role may be vital to the members. Press Cuttings From time to time news about beekeeping appears in the local and national press. Sue Malcolm is keeping a scrapbook of these cuttings which she takes to meetings and shows.

Butterfly Conservation Autumn 2006 The Butterfly Observer - Autumn 2006 Editorial My apologies for not including, in the last issue, a report on the occurrence of the Six-belted Clearwing (Bembecia Ichneumoniformis) which was promised in the winter edition (see this issue, page 6 ). Also included is an article on the visit to Luckett Reserve (Greenscoombe Wood) during a period when approximately 1600 Heath Fritillaries were re-introduced. There are some photographs of Barry Ofield, along with BC headquarters’ staff, being interviewed for ITV South West during a planned release of the butterfly. At the time of going to press, an Open Day at Carbis Moor (The new reserve managed by English Nature - now called Natural England), has been organised. The latest news is that nearly 70 attended the function on a beautiful sunny day. Pasties and drinks, provided by the organisers, were enjoyed by all - more in the next issue. There is an article about the field trip to Kynance Cove along with news regarding the Atlantic Coast and Valleys Project and its special relationship with the Large Blue - see page 12. The new Bodmin to Indian Queens A30 dual carriageway has attracted much attention over the past few years and an article which appeared in the Cornish Guardian is also included. So far, I hope that a balance has been struck between moth and butterfly interests in this newsletter. As your new editor, I would welcome feedback from you all in this matter and any suggestions are most welcome.
