Members and Friends, please join us on August 18 for our Membership Meeting and educational session. This will be an IN PERSON and ZOOM meeting at the University of Missouri Extension Center at 260 Brown Road in St. Peters. The club meeting will begin at 7:00.  You can come early – 6:00 PM –  for Q&A with experienced beekeepers. Our Guest Speaker is Randy Oliver.

Randy Oliver sees beekeeping through the eyes of a biologist.  He now helps his sons to run a commercial beekeeping operation of around 1500 hives in the foothills of Northern California, managing them for migratory pollination, nuc sales, and queen and honey production — freeing Randy to engage in full-time in beekeeper-funded research projects.  Randy analyzes and digests the scientific research, and is in touch with beekeepers and researchers from all over the world, not only to broaden his own depth of knowledge, but to figure out best management practices for beekeepers everywhere, which he then happily shares through his various articles in bee magazines, speaking engagements, and on his website: www.ScientificBeekeeping.com
