What we will be discussing at the June meeting:
We are having a guest speaker for the June Meeting - David Burns from Long Lane Honey Bee Farms
We are very excited to have him come and talk to us! He will be discussing inspections in swarm season,
what to do if you find your hive is thinking about swarming, how to make a split, and swarms you
catch that are not yours - what do you do with the queen - keep or replace.
As always you can contact us if you have any
questions about the meeting or even if you have
a question about your bees or any problems
you need to discuss. You can call the number
on the website or contact us through the contact
us button.
It's going to be another great meeting.
Bee there or Bee Square!
Packaged Bees and Nucs
Meyer Bees in Minooka, Il
Meyer bees also have a large stock
of bee equipment, supplements, Honey bottles,
extractors, ect. They are a Mannlake
dealer and carry some of the better bee
supplies also.
Dave is also a Mann Lake Dealer and has a lot of items for everyday use on site.
Packages may be sold out but you can check with Dave and see. Queens will be coming soon.
Dave will be offering wax dipping for your hive bodies and supers. Email Dave for more details and to let him know you are interested.
If you need something give him a call - he probably has it or can get it.
