July 10, 2015 - The Shelby County Beekeepers Club will meet Wednesday, July 15th at the active Shelby County courthouse, 2nd floor meeting room from 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Bring a sack lunch and come engage with other novice and expert local beekeepers as we share information on beekeeping.
This month’s topic will include summer hive management, bee and wasp identification and testing moisture levels in honey.
Possibly, we will have some queen honey bees on-hand to observe. Bring your honey to be tested for moisture via refractometer.
Remember: Honey bees are a gardener's best friend; they pollinate fruit trees, vegetables and other garden plants plus provide a valuable product. . . HONEY!
