SBA November Webinar 2026

SBA November Webinar 

Bees and Beekeeping in South Africa and Namibia

11th November 2026 at 7.30pm

We're delighted to welcome Dr Lynne Hepplestone from South Africa. A familiar face to many and our first online webinar guest this winter season. Lynne will cover beekeeping in Southern Africa, how it is similar to and different to UK beekeeping. She will also discuss their indigenous bee species and how these differ from what we know in the UK.

Lynne is a veterinarian, musician, SBA Honey Judge, hobbyist beekeeper and mead-maker. She is currently working in Namibia at their School of Veterinary Medicine as a Senior Clinician and Clinical Lecturer in the Small Animal Medicine Dept. This includes, as always, ‘All Things Bees’. The School also teaches bees and beekeeping in its curriculum.

Our webinars are free to SBA members and £2 for non-SBA members. 

We shall be using Zoom software for this webinar and the meeting link will be emailed after registration, so please look out for emails from newsletter@scottishbeekeepers.org.uk
