President's Message

January 2021

January is here and will be gone before you know it, make sure you keep the entrance of your colonies cleared out of dead bees, so the colony has good air circulation, and as weather permits do vapor treatments of oxalic.

This can be accomplished by removing any entrance reducer and reaching in the entrance with a coat hanger and drag out any dead bees first, then applying oxalic treatments.

Also remember to keep your membership current with LCBA, membership is due this month so in order to stay in touch with LCBA and upcoming 2021 events, you will need to send that membership to Gene Gargus, his contacts are in The Buzz. We try to keep things local during the winter months because travel can become treacherous here in Northeast Ohio at any time making it difficult to have speakers from other areas visit and speak.

So, this month we have Sherry Oleyar, Valerie Weiss and Sheila St.Clair teaching classes on Lip Balm, Body Lotion, Soap making and candle making. Out of this we thought there must be something of interest to everyone. See you Friday the 8th at 7:00 p.m.
