Come join the Pittsylvania County Beekeepers for our upcoming meeting on August 11th! We will be joined by our friend and regional beekeeping resource Jim Zeigler for a program covering a number of topics:

What’s happening in our hives? – “I thought we were in the dearth period”

Do I have varroa mites? When and how should I treat them?

What the heck is honeydew and how do I know it when I see it?

Is there such a thing as Zombie Bees?

See you there!

Come this Thursday, June 9th at 7pm and hear Larry and Martha Hupp give a talk on how to make and market creamed honey! Should be a good one!

The May meeting has changed to a round table discussion. All are welcome to come as we touch base on the state of the bees for this month (how has rain affected production, beetles, honey crops, etc)
