Field Day 2021
Lorain County Beekeepers Association located in the "heart of it all", Lorain County, Ohio. LCBA was founded in 1919 as a non-profit organization committed to educating the public about the value of honeybees and the impact honeybees have on our world.
April 2021
My what a great start to April, it just doesn't get any better than this for an April.
For those who have overwintered colonies, swarms are a real issue NOW, make sure you are in those bees every 7 to 10 days weather permitting. Move brood down, look for queen cups or cells consistently, take nothing for granted.
Do mite treatments NOW and consider adding supers before it’s necessary, colonies are building fast and some are ready to swarm NOW. There will be reports of swarms in the next few weeks don't let them be yours.
This week LCBA will start meetings early at 6:15, for those interested, a live package bee instillation will take place by part of our bee yard management team; Randy Leiby, bees supplied by John Rose.
This is a part of our beginner class and if you are a beginner this class is a must for you to see. At this month's meeting LCBA will also present Petitti's Garden Supply which will give helpful hints on what your bees need in the way of flowers, which will also help make any property look like a beekeeper lives there.
