And here is last month's meeting minutes.
Hello fellow beeks!
We had a spectacular meeting last night with our annual Christmas Potluck. (And a big shout out to everyone who "followed the rules" and made things that were Gluten Free! You know who you are and you absolutely rock!)
We had 6 entries for the 1st Annual Photo Contest.
The 1st place winner was taken by Bill Sandridge with the featured photo at the top of this post. The 2nd place winner was taken by Suzy Beaman and is featured below!
They each won our admiration and a vintage 5RBC coffee mug!
Stay tuned .. more bee things and bee "adjacent" things in the works.
Will Santa bring you your biggest wish? Have you bee-n naughty or nice?
As the season starts to slow, it’s important to continue weekly checks
on your hives. This includes looking for robbers, identifying the queen,
and checking for diseases and pests. During the months of August and
September on the beekeeper’s calendar, colonies do the important work of
building up populations to prepare for the winter, and it’s a good time
for you to begin winter preparations, too. So treat your colonies if you do so & start on plans for overwintering.
