One very successful venture that the Dorset Beekeepers have done is the publication of the Honeycraft magazine. Until recently this was done as a printed copy but the decision was made to go over to a soft copy which was emailed out to members.
It has now been decided that will go a stage further and place it on the web site - so here are the copies for which we have a pdf. version. Each issue opens in a new tab or downloads to your download directory.
