President's Message
March 2020
Well here we are, in the middle of beekeeping classes again and it looks as if the turn
out is good again this year. With good instructors and good attendance we are off to a
great new year in beekeeping. I would like to remind all the new beekeepers that you
are now a member of LCBA and you are a part of all we do as an organization. With
that in mind, next month, April 10th, Barbara Bloetscher will be our guest speaker and
she will help new beekeepers through our first hive inspection here, at our regular
meeting place, weather permitting, plus Barbara is our guest speaker for the day.
We are trying to locate the (five) best bee yards in Lorain County and we need your
help in doing so. We need pictures of your bee yard, as many 5 X 7's as you are will to
part with, but any size will do. The winners will have their story and pictures put in The
Buzzzz and prominently displayed at the Lorain County Fair this year. We are also
thinking about a tour of the five winning locations later in the summer to early fallseason
if the beekeepers wishes, there will be more information as the season progresses.
It is early, no rush but we would like to have all pictures in by Junish, pictures
will be judged by members present at the June meeting.
There will be a meeting in the church auditorium this month about the apiary inspection
program for regular members. After the meeting, we ask that you do not disturb
the beginner classes which will be in progress at that time.
