Safety, Safety, Safety!

Last night we learned more about keeping ourselves safe when using oxalic acid products to treat bees for Varroa mite. Gloves, fitted masks with correct filters, & coveralls. Used correctly- these tools will work well. We also learned about processes and effective timing of applications to make it safe for bees. Thanks Graeme. The audience was listening intently!!

Welcome to the new members & visitors! Thank you to all the regulars that make these regular catch ups such a wonderful place to be. Congrats to the prize winners too!!

This contributes to meeting room hire, important guest speakers and VAA insurance for events such as your own volunteer swarm collecting activity.

All of your rego details from last season have been kept on file- so if it’s a simple renewal just re-sign the form at the next meeting. If anything needs updating - now is your chance!

How to pay:
Pay online: Paying online prior to the meeting will help our team immensely! See your email for banking details.
Pay in person (aka cash): please see the front desk when you arrive. (No card facilities).

Thank you for your ongoing support and cooperation!

The world of beekeeping is made up of many…
It takes a community to keep bees…
Conferences are great to showcase innovation and share ideas. Check out the program at this conference and consider the opportunities to learn from others. Now more than ever we will need to support our fellow beekeepers in our community.
