Extracting Workshop – Monday, 11 July 2011

6 July 2011 by Greg

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
