There is an extracting workshop scheduled for 7:00 PM on Monday, July 11. It will be held in the East/West building at the Wilson County Fairgrounds where we normally meet. There will be no business meeting conducted.
Ed Holcombe, who conducted the Queen rearing program for the WCBA several months back, is producing queens (Italians) for sale at a cost of $20.00 each. If we can come up with an order of 30 to 50 queens, we can get them from Ed on or about 19 August. Orders for the queens need to be placed by Wednesday, June 29th.
If you plan on re-queening late this summer, Ed produces some really good stock. Please contact Roy Everidge at reo8005@msn.com if you are interested in purchasing one of Ed”s queens.
