President's Message
MARCH 2023
Hello LCBA,
It is March and the Beginner Beekeeping classes are underway! We had 80 plus expectant new
beekeepers at Friday’s class. There are 3 more classes on Friday nights at 7 pm and members may attend for free. Managing Your Beehive, First Two Months as a Beekeeper and Summer and Fall Management are topics yet to be covered. All Beginner classes take place in the church.
March 10th at 7 pm is our regular monthly meeting. Sheila St Clair will give a demo, “All about Wax”. We will also have Peggy Vasu, a Master Gardener Volunteer, giving some insight on ‘plants for bees’.
Mother Nature has given us a couple nice weather days. Take advantage of those 60 plus degree days to check out what the bees are doing. If needed treat for mites!
See you Friday,
Marilyn
