Bryan Copeland will cover the topic of building swarm traps and trapping swarms. This is a good one even for new beekeepers. Instead of buying bees and bringing them in from another region, why not trap local bees already acclimated to our area, and best of all, they're free! Building a couple swarm traps is simple, and cheap! It's time to get those traps ready as swarm season is among us! Bring your questions as we'll break out into a round table discussion after Bryan's presentation. If you've missed a previous newsletter, find them all archived here.

Other mead and winemakers in the club brought some of their samples. Of course food was in order... so it grew into a jovial gathering of friends who each had unique talents and creations to share. Bring a dish (a main dish, appetizer, or dessert) to share of your choice. If you are a wine or mead-maker, bring along one ..read more
