The Illinois Valley Beekeeping Association currently keeps some hives out at the Utica Water Way
We are tentatively having a water way honey processing day. We will be extracting and spinning and filtering the water way honey. Anyone who would like to help and learn are welcome to come. We will have more information as we get things lined up for sure. Times will be posted at that time and the address also. This will be a great day to learn and see how to process your honey.
We will try for a date in January. I will post it as soon as I know for sure we have a date and place for it.
