Wilson County Beekeepers

Congratulations to Janet Corley on winning the 2011 Tom Hart “Bluest of the Blues” Award for her Dark Amber Extracted Honey entry.  And what a beautiful jar of honey it is!

And congratulations to all entrants and winners in the 2011 Wilson County Fair Exhibit competition.   The complete list of winners is available for download in pdf format here:

• 2011 Wilson County Fair Exhibit Winners

This list can also be found on the Resources page accessible by the tab above.

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
