We had a wonderful get together at the Old Perry Courthouse on 19 July 2011 with about 35 in attendance. Thank you all who came and participated in the discussions.
One of the topics discussed was "Wax Moths" and how they devoured one of my hives. I brought in some of the little buggers to show and tell. It wasn't a pretty sight.
Steve Nofs, The President of Georgia Beekeepers Assn gave us a great presentation and a lot of insight on the GBA. He discussed membership, the cost, the web site and how they interact with state and national agencies. He also briefed us on the up coming Fall meeting to be held on September 10, 11 in McDonough, Ga. I would like to see a lot of our folks there; if there is any way you can attend, that would be great. The fee is only about $35 and the knowledge/information you take away with you is priceless. Please plan to attend.
Jessie McCurdy along with Steve Prince and others fielded a lot of questions from individuals about problems we are having this time of year and offered their valuable experience with solutions to the problems that were raised. I want to thank them for being there for us when we need them. Our club certainly has a wide range of experience from, "I'm thinking about it" to "I have done it for 70 years" both school trained and field trained.
We also want to welcome the folks who drove up from the Albany area. It is great to share club activities and experiences. Maybe one day we can have a get together with both clubs.
Until our next meeting on 16 August, stay safe and keep the buzz! Bear
