President's Message
November 2022
I cannot remember a nicer fall then the one we are currently experiencing, but I'm afraid winter will crash into Ohio all of a sudden. As predicted, and relayed to the membership at last meeting, I am already taking calls about colonies with little honey stores and what to do, now. The window to do simple, preemptive solutions to prevent starvation, prior to the onset of winter has almost closed.
This month we are honored to have Jeannie Saum as a speaker, her subject matter is Health Benefits of Hive Products. I would really recommend you visit Jeannie's web site https://beepothecary.square.site/ to be better informed about who she is, what she does, and the products she sells. I'm also sure if you placed and order on line she would be willing to bring it to the meeting, plus she will have product on site at the meeting as well.
We have a lot going on at this meeting, I might add, as usual. If you have, what you consider to be good tasting honey, this is the meeting to find out in a completely unbiased contest just how good it is. Three honey connoisseurs well determine the best tasting honey in Lorain County, Friday night, and the winner will have their name added to a trophy to be held in the winner's possession until unseated. There will also be a chili cook-off as well, the best tasting chili in Lorain County, with places and prizes into third place, 1st place 40.00, 2nd 30.00, third 20.00, winner to be determined by members at large. Last, but not least, nominations for officers will close at the conclusion of Friday night's meeting, please consider taking an office in the best beekeeping organization in the world. See you there Friday night the 11th, doors will open at 6:30 by whoever gets there first.
PS. In my personal opinion Denzil has been the best president ever, in the 104 history of LCBA.
Your very humble and benevolent President,
Denzil
