Bring your own chair!

Hello!

Summer is just about here!

They are promising a warm Memorial Day, so we shall see! I know the bees will be thrilled along with the beekeepers waiting for their first harvest of spring honey! June is usually a good honey flow month. Be sure to keep enough supers on for the honey flow.  Swarming, can still occur also. In either case, make sure to add enough supers this month. Miss a few days and you can miss a lot of honey! Keep them well ventilated for easier water evaporation inside.

 

For Sale:

Anyone wanting a box of fondant (food for the bees) should call John Schick at 419-668-8947. He can pick it up and bring it to the meeting if you call him

ahead of time.  Cost is $43.00 for 50 pounds. Can also be divided.

Memorial ~

I was sent an invitation from Arnold Bigler's family to pass along to our club.  It is found at the end of this newsletter.

Our last meeting was well attended, for such a beautiful night!  When the weather starts turning nice, it’s a hard to quit working outside and go to a meeting! We're all glad when we get here! We would miss the fellowship of one another.

Not to mention we sometimes actually learn a thing or two!

We watched one of the O.S.B.A. power points on Diseases of the Bees. It had some good pictures of actual diseases. 

It also gave us ways to eliminate the diseases also.

This month's program will be on "Cross wiring your frames" A How to  demonstration by Doc Dehiel.  Bring your input on the way you do your hives too!

Why do we do this?? Come and find out!

 

 

Have a great Holiday week-end! It sounds like it will be cook out weather! Hmmm maybe I can find a recipe to use???
