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.

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.

Submitted by Daves Bees on Wed, 07/21/2010 - 22:43

All,
This forum is a great tool for all members to share ideas and keep the dialogue rolling after our meetings. It is time to do some training at a meeting to bring members up to speed on this powerful tool.

Sample posts:
Does anyone have an extra queen excluder?
When should I add a super?
How do I make syrup?
Or you can post your fantastic ideas for everyone to enjoy!

Submitted by ralph on Tue, 03/30/2010 - 15:31

I just finished my order for everything I need for a complete hive. I looked through all of the catalogues that have been circulating at the recent meetings, and after comparing prices, etc., I finally decided to order everything through Brushy Mountain Bee Farm. One thing I liked about Brushy Mountain was that I could place the order online, although I had to go through the catalogue first and write down everything I wanted.
