All Members
It is with much sadness that I let you know that our Honorary Member Jim McColm passed away on Wednesday 8th April, age 89.
Jim was a WGBA member for over 50 years – he was an old fashioned and very knowledgeable beekeeper as well as a prize winner at local and Scottish level for his honey and wax. He will be remembered at our Honey Show each year with the presentation of the Jim McColm trophy for the best honey in show.
