Anyone going to Kelley’s in the next week or so that can pick up an order?

Also, this is the final call for anyone wanting to be placed on the honey producers’ list for the fair. If you have honey for sale and want to let the public know, let me know and I will be sure to put your name and number on the list.

Meeting Recap – 25 July 2011

Posted in Announcements on 26 July 2011| Leave a Comment »

For those of you that missed last night’s meeting:

Still have bears (for donations) if anyone would like to donate

Still looking for items for the ‘goodie’ basket. Would love to have your jar of honey with your label on it. Any size accepted

Still need a couple of frames for extracting demonstration

Fair schedules and passes are in the morning’s mail, if you didn’t pick them up last night

If you have honey for sale and would like your name on the producer’s list for the fair, please let me know

The membership voted to offer four one-day conference admission paid to first-time attendees. (October 28 and 29th) I just need to know who is interested. We will draw for these ‘scholarships’ at the October meeting.

Let me hear from you,

Petra

Extracting Workshop – Monday, 11 July 2011

Posted in Announcements on 6 July 2011| Leave a Comment »

Just a reminder that there will be an extracting workshop on Monday, July 11th in the West Building at the Ward Ag Center.

If/when the 2010/2011 grant winners take off their honey, half of the grant hive’s honey comes back to the club. Please try to bring this to a meeting BEFORE the fair, in whatever container(s) so it can put it in bears to sell at the fair.

Thanks,

Petra
