Spring Flow 2024! Don’t forget to join us the 2nd Thursday of every month! 🐝🍯

We had a wonderful time learn and socializing at last nights meeting. Congratulations to Ed and Karen from @sweetbetsyfarm on receiving an honorary membership. Thank you for all you do and I’ve done for this club!

I did a my first hive inspection of the year this weekend and this comb was in the wrong place. I scraped it off and these two bee babies were in there. 😕 Anyway, it’s cool to see what’s going on in the bee development so I opened their cells up to check it out and thought I’d share! Pretty cool!

We had our last meeting on 2023 last night! Elected the new leaders and enjoyed some great food with friends! Thank you for a great year!
