This month learn all about setting up that first hive, featuring a hands on demonstration on installing packages and nuclues colonies with Richard Lercari.
Then Steve Davis will present on his Dead Out inspection at an LBA members bee yard. Learn about the difficulties bees face going into winter, the hazards of the transition between winter and spring, and what we can do as beekeepers to help.
Annual dues are also due by the end of the month. $10 for an individual or $15 for a family. Attend the monthly meeting, get access to the clubs honey extractor, and learn from experienced local beekeepers.
Members who attend this meeting will be entered to win a nucleus colony from Kutick’s Everything Bees to get started with this Spring.
In other business we will also be holding our elections for club officers, including the office of the president. So bee there or bee square.
