Newsletters

EMBA members receive a regular newsletter written by our own beekeeping guru, Alan Riach, who provides timely advice on managing our bee colonies throughout the year.

“Can I just say that my son Blair & I really look forward to Alan’s Monthly Newsletter. Perhaps it’s because we are still beginners but every month I learn at least one new piece of information.... Just felt I had to feed that back, we both think the Newsletters are excellent.” STUART

“I love them… great reminders of everything.” SARAH

“The guiding light for beekeepers.” JOHN
