The outline for the extracting workshop held 11 July 2011 and conducted by Carey Mitchell is available on the Resources page. The direct link is here: Extracting Workshop Outline
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

Take about 14 minutes to watch this fascinating video of Jonathan Drori discussing flowers and how they trick insects and other creatures into doing their bidding.
