Coming Events …

OUR FEBRUARY MEETING ...
Due to a room conflict for February, our regularly scheduled meeting on the third Monday of the month has been changed to Sunday, February 19th, 2012. At 7:00 pm we will discuss spring hive management and how to get your hives ready for the new beekeeping season. We'll also see a presentation on the mysterious world of honey bee genetics. As always, the main meeting will be proceeded by the 6:00 pm Q&A session with Ted Jansen.
