With the Holidays just around the corner the Leatherstocking Beekeepers’ Association would like to invite everyone to our December meeting.

Being held December 3 at 7 p.m. at the Fenimore Farm and Country Village (formerly The Farmers’ Museum) the meeting will include a presentation with guest speaker Anne Mills, New York State Apiarist, discussion of month-to-month beekeeping activities, and a Q&A section to discuss your stories from the bee yard. The December meeting is held earlier in the month to accommodate for the holidays.

This month’s presentation by Anne Mills will be on New York State’s Apiary Inspection program. Members and the public is welcome to find out how New York State supports commercial and hobbyist beekeepers’ through the challenges of modern beekeeping.

Before the presentation we will hold our business meeting featuring updates on club activities such as the planning for the 2025 Introduction to Beekeeping short course. We are always looking for volunteers so if you would like to participate please contact the Chairman of the Education Committee Steve Davis at Paperclip5@hotmail.com

We look forward to seeing everyone there!
