President's Message
May 2022
Hello LCBA !
Spring has sprung, rain has stopped, sun is shining, bees are swarming, flowers are blooming, did I say bees are swarming, again?
Looks like it’s going to be one of those years that winter ends and summer begins. Do not take those wraps off too early. I know it is inconvenient to work around, but if you must, do not them off (all) at once, or take them off gradually in layers. As one beekeeper found out this year already, premature insulation removal can and will kill brood in an otherwise well-developed colony.
It is an honor to welcome back Tom Nolan to once again address the number one problem in beekeeping today and into the foreseeable future - Varroa. Tom is a representative of Nod Global, the manufacturer of Formic Acid, Mite-Away and the Bee Cozy, and more, based in Canada.
I consider this a must meeting for all beekeepers.
See you Friday!

LCBA Building Fund
LCBA is dedicating it’s fundraising efforts this year to raise funds for a permanent home for Lorain County Beekeepers Association. Wouldn’t it be great to have our meetings, education and other beekeeping activities in a home away from home? Looking for ways to donate or assist in fundraising?? See Sheila St. Clair at all members meetings to share your ideas!
