Golden Triangle Beekeepers' Meeting

Last Thursday we hosted a meeting for local beekeepers. Reid Nevins, the Lowndes County Extension Service director organized it. We took a field trip to our bee yard, and Mark talked about some of the new equipment he's trying, such as a slatted bottom board for more ventilation, and the oil traps to control small hive beetles.

Several very experienced beekeepers attended, so newer beekeepers had plenty of people to talk to -- if they would. Beekeeping tends to attract some solitary, quiet individuals!

Thanks to everyone who joined us. I can't promise I'll remember your names, but the more we get together, the greater the chances are!

P.S. Bob, from this post, joined us.
