Next Meeting:
The time for our August
meeting will soon be here. Our next meeting will
be 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday August 9, 2008 at the St.
Albans Public Library, corner of 6th Avenue and 4th
Street in Saint Albans, WV. Steve will give a report on
HAS followed by a discussion of what you need to do now to prepare
your bees for the winter. As usual there will be an opportunity to
ask questions about fall management
Visitors and new members are welcome.
Apiguard:
Have you picked up your Apiguard that
WV Department of Agriculture is providing beekeepers? You should
have received a letter with instructions to pick it up at your
county extension office.
Heartland
Apiculture Society Conference:
Eight members of Kanawha Valley Beekeepers
attended the conference at Marshall University in July. I'm sure if
each of them had sent you a postcard they would have written,
"Having a wonderful time. Wish you were here". Allen Leadmon was one
of the instructors and shared his knowledge of making candles. The
conference next year will be in Ohio so plan to attend if you can.
West Virginia
Beekeepers Association:
Plan to attend
the fall meeting of the WVBA on September 19th and 20th at Jackson's
Mill at Weston. This two-day meeting will have good speakers and
worthwhile programs. It's a great time to meet and greet fellow West
Virginia beekeepers. Details and registration form will be in the
fall issue of the WVBA newsletter.
West Virginia
Honey, Wax and Cookery Show:
Are you planning to enter the Honey Show at the fall meeting? Find
out how your honey, beeswax and baked goods compare to those of
other beekeepers. It's a great feeling to have a blue ribbon on your
entry. A listing of the various classes you can enter will be in the
fall newsletter. Give it a try.
West Virginia
Beekeepers T-Shirts:
The T-shirts you ordered have come in and you can pick yours up at
the August meeting.
