July Update

Hi.  Hope everyone is having a good summer.  Reports on honey production in the area is mixed, with most seeing at least some  supers getting filled.  
At this time, we still  have no idea if  we will be able to  hold a face-to-face meeting in September.  A decision will be made soon and members will be notified on this website and  via email.  Stay tuned!
If you are looking for some other activity bee related, please see the  information below.  Hopefully you will find something interesting.
