Join the Leatherstocking Beekeepers’ December meeting for a Beekeepers raffle and get Bee gift ideas for things you can make from your hive ahead of the holidays.
All followed by an open forum sharing highlights from this season’s adventures in the bee yard. Bring one of your memorable moments or two.
Meeting is held Monday, December 4, at 7 p.m. at The Farmers’ Museum, Cooperstown.
Our bees have worked hard all summer long and now the time of cold is almost upon them. Learn how we as beekeepers can help our girls to survive the winter ahead with the Leatherstocking Beekeepers’ Association.
The first presentation will be “Getting hives ready as they head into winter” with Richard Lercari discussing the physical prep of the hive for the cold months ahead. Following will be a cautionary commentary on (expired) bee treatments for both the beekeeper and the bees with Richard Burroughs.
Club president Mike Lyons will then host “Responsible beekeeping practices” an open forum about the LBA mission.
All are welcome to visit, learn, and get bee questions answered.
The Leatherstocking Beekeepers’ Association will be meeting Thursday, October 26 at 7 p.m. at The Farmers’ Museum, Cooperstown.
