Letter From the President

Submitted by Steve Roth on Mon, 02/20/2012 - 09:52

Continued Greetings to All,

As the bees have been inactive through the winter, so have we as a club.  But as the bees are now longing for spring and beginning their early flights, again are we as a club.  We had a wonderfully informative meeting this past Thursday, Feb. 16, at which Joe Kovaleski spoke about Queen Rearing, the rational, the technique, and the benefits.  We were mesmerized with his knowledge and insight.

Hello to All,

As summer slowly draws to a close the bees are coming into the fall honey flow.  It seems like everywhere I look I see knotweed in heavy bloom.  Some fields are showing aster and early signs of goldenrod.  For those of you who seek specialty honey the knotweed looks very promising.  Go get ‘em girls!!

Giving Ralph Seward a Hand...

Submitted by Virginia Wright on Sun, 12/12/2010 - 07:28

I want to personally give Ralph Seward a hand (can you hear me clapping?) for the GREAT JOB he is doing with the Tri-State Beekeepers Association's website. I think it is just wonderful we are fortunate enough to have it. I've been sitting on photos for awhile, (ever since I took them of the class this summer) and finally I decided that I should turn them over to Ralph, as I knew he would be able to do them justice here on the website. He did a beautiful job-- Bravo. Thanks Ralph.

You guys are doing great!

Looks like the fist meeting at the Good Zoo went very well; it must have been fun.  I just wrote a long note and then dumped it in the preview mode; now I'm out of gas.  I'll send a note another day.  Thanks to the folks that bought my hives during the move.

Dave
