Leatherstocking Beekeepers Association members discuss the joys of beekeeping with interested visitors. The association had an educational display at the two-day Harvest Festival at The Farmers Museum in Cooperstown. As interest continues to grow in “save the bees” and their critical pollination activity, the association had many new member requests.
This has been an exciting year for beekeepers in New York. Many new faces joined the Introduction to Beekeeping Course held in February, we’ve had a hands-on training for newbees and we have had some updates to the officers and education committee.
Our new officers are:
President Mike Lyons
Veep Liz Burroughs
Treasurer Dr. Rick Loftus
Secretary Richard Lercari
Education Committee:
Dave Edwards (chair)
Mike Lyons
Paul Greer
Jon Weber
