"Recently received a call to ask if I would join the committee for the "Syndicat Apicole de la Gironde". Feel very honoured, but also a bit out of my depth too - all the other members have considerably more experience (and hives) than me - but what a great chance to learn more! So, during the Annual General meeting I was voted in as committee member number 21, and have since attended my first monthly meeting, where we all introduced ourselves. I learned who is responsable for what concerning the bee school and associated hives, and various other roles, and that the new regional grouping of French administration departments is proving a head-ache in the bee world. The meeting ended celebrating Raymond's 80th birthday - with champagne, crepes and cakes. Not bad !
