Hello to all you beekeepers, near and far, rush out right now and get that honey off, "there is gold in them thar hives"!

Do not forget the meeting August the 12th. will be held in the LCBA Bee Barn also located at the Lorain County Fairgrounds, this is the largest honey bee display anywhere and you can, and should be a part of it!
Come out Monday the 22nd and watch the best honey in the world be judged, help LCBA tell all fair goers about beekeeping, we need your support.
This looks like a good week to get those mite treatments on, temps look great if you are using Formic Acid products. Also do not forget there will be a honey tasting competition for all members of LCBA at the regular meeting Sept. 9th. if you are a member, you can enter no charge. We award a trophy that the winner keeps and displays until next competition in 2023.
Your illustrious and humble president,
