Congratulations to all our beekeepers who have been successful in their preliminary beekeeping certificate examinations
Special Congratulations are due to Sam Millar on being the first member of the Association to be awarded the FIBA Senior Beekeeper’s Certificate earlier in the summer. Following this Sam attended Gormanstown during July where he was also successful in completing the Beekeeping Lectureship award.

A photograph of Dave Atherton’s first encounter with bees, although he didn't have any more contact for another 40 years. Note the school blazer, lack of beard and short pants! The date is 20 July 1955, and the beekeeper on the right is his Uncle.

If you've admired our logo and wondered how it came about, the stained glass image is from a Canadian Stained glass company called Light Romance, onto which has been laid the RVBKA logo. Why not visit the Light Romance website ( click on their link below) to see the beautiful range of designs they have created. In March '08 their Director wrote: Hi Alan. We will be honored if you use our stained glass honeybee on your website. I hope your bees are not suffering as ours have. Thanks for the look at your website. Very nice layout indeed! We are flattered, and happy to be a small part of it. Cheers, Larry @ Light Romance
