News from the President
We had a great Bee School this month and Karen and I would like to thank everyone who participated, volunteered or donated to the silent auction; it was our best auction yet!
The NCSBA Spring meeting in New Bern, NC is just finishing up and Karen and I had the opportunity to talk to a lot of beekeepers. The Summer meeting will be July 16-18 in Flat Rock and I encourage you all to make plans to attend!
Our bees are rapidly building up and the hives already have some drone cells. While swarming hasn't started in western NC yet, some of the beekeepers in the Raleigh area are already seeing swarms. Its time to set those swarm traps out!
See you on March 12.
