Leave a reply
The Potluck Dinner was a complete success with an amazing menu, good friends, and lots of prizes. For those that could not attend “Work on That”! It was suggested that we try to do this and other gatherings more often so we started planning while we ate. Keep an eye on your emails and I’ll let you know when and where we will have the next event!

Thursday’s Meeting!!!! 08/09/18
Someone said that they did not know what a Small Hive Beetle was so Patrick and I asked around and found out that Sandy Pruitt
new a little about them and said that she would share her information with us at our meeting. Sandy has been a keeper of bees for about 15 years and has learned a thing or two about dealing with SHB. Sandy asked that we come and share or experiences and methods of dealing with these pests as well so this will be a good one.
Looking forward to all the snacks, stories, methods and fun.
EXTRACTION DEMO
Here it is! The meeting we have all been waiting for….time to see what it takes to get that sweet treat from the hive to the jar!!
We will have a honey processing demonstration by Rusty and Betsy East – an informative program that all will enjoy! Rusty and Betsy run 100+ hives and provide honey to businesses all around Pittsylvania County as well as setting up at both the Chatham and Danville farmers market. They are going to take us thru their process on how they uncap and extract honey.
As always we will have great fellowship, snacks, and drink so come on out and join us!
