Field Day 2022
President's Message
January 2022
Hello to all you freeze babies, I am told there only 67 days to spring and believe me, it can't come soon enough for me.
Just an FYI , beginner classes start again in March and if you want a refresher course keep this in mind it is free to members. That brings up another subject, membership renewals are up, so make sure to renew your membership in order to keep up on all that LCBA is doing this year, and believe me it's a lot, stay
tuned!!
This Friday we are fortunate to have Dave Noble as a guest speaker. For those who want a deeper understanding of beekeeping, I think you will find the subject matter of interest; “Pheromone's Within the Colony”. Dave is not new to beekeeping, but began in OSU's Honey Bees Research Lab. in the mid 1990's. Most recently he spent 7 years as the staff apiarist at Stratford Ecological Center at Delaware, Ohio.
During his tenure there Dave developed popular beekeeper training programs for both novice and veteran beekeepers alike. Dave operates Red Beard Bees where he continues to develop and refine and teach his beekeeper training programs and presentations across Ohio and the Nation.
See you there,
Denzil
