We booked a late summer getaway to Romania earlier this month. At breakfast, on the tele, I spotted bees, frames, beekeepers and the dates. Although the event was barely advertised anywhere else, I found the Bucharest Beekeepers Honey Show in walking distance of the hotel! It was meant to be! It was very interesting and cheap. I bought a 3 layer mesh full suit for around £40 and some frame grips for around £5. Maybe it will be an annual trip for us. The weather was lovely too.
If anyone is going abroad, it might be be worth doing a bit of research before you go. 8-)
