August 21 Heat Treatment for Varroa Control
Karin and Grace Tesdall of Healthy Bee Ventures demonstrated their “Bee Sauna”, a thermal treatment for varroa mite control.
Healthy Bee Ventures is a family-owned business dedicated to providing beekeepers with a high-quality chemical-free hive product for varroa mite management.
Our meeting in August was full of fun. Thanks to our club members, we collected over a dozen jars of honey to donate to the Centenary Methodist Church. Congratulations to Ann Zudekoff, 2025 winner of the Langstroth Award. It was presented at our August meeting by Keith Tignor, VDACS State Apiarist. The night was topped off by an ice cream social.
Keith Tignor presented Ann with the Langstroth Award and Josh Urban presented Ann with a bouquet of flowers.
Vanilla or chocolate?
Keith gave out Spotted Lantern Fly Traps to willing takers.
