Jessica Driver, Apiary Inspector will be our speaker for the January meeting. Our local Inspector, Jessica can help you with inspections, colony concerns, or possible diseases. This is an important time of year as we ramp up equipment builds and repairs, checking and feeding colonies as needed, mid winter mite checks and treatments, and bee and equipment orders. Please make every effort to attend meetings and keep up with what happening in the hive now and what to expect in the months to come.
