Winter Feed Ordering 2026

Submitted by gwhite.ebc4 on

Collection dates: 1st August and 15th August. There will be no other opportunities to collect outside of these dates.

Please ensure that jerrycans brought to be used for syrup are fit for the purpose – plastics that have been left out in the open all year will be mechanically compromised. If your jerrycan splits upon filling, you will be mopping it up, and you will not be refunded…

Large orders to be collected from the tanker in your own IBC will require special collection arrangements.

update: 29/6/26: Winter feed orders seem to be drifting to a halt, bulk syrup is ordered, and I shall be submitting the rest of the order (the palletised goods) tomorrow. At time of writing we have the remaining:
7 Jerrycans (14kg syrup) sold out
8 Fondant boxes (5x2.5kg)
3 Fondant boxes (12x1kg)
and 2 x 1kg packs 'candipolline gold'.

David has also asked me to let you know that he has 4x 1kg sachets of candipolline left over from last year. They have a best-before date this autumn, so if you'd like them for a donation to association funds, please message me, or him, separately...

Suffolk Show 2026

About the show

The Suffolk Show is one of the highlights of the county calendar and a good opportunity to showcase the skills and creativity of Suffolk beekeepers. With the 2026 Show on the horizon, we would like to encourage as many members as possible to consider entering honey, wax and confectionery classes. Although the Show is two months away, the best entries are rarely produced at the last minute.
