Oh yeah, I will be donating two feral nucs for auction as there are many new beeks w/o beees as everyone is sold out for the most part!
Hope to see you all there.

Pictures from the meeting.






Supposedly there's a mite or two here. I can't make them out personally.

What I did notice was a lot of the invasive pavement ants, Tetramorium caespitum. They don't really threaten hives but will nibble at any extra honey and pollen laying around.



I noticed some larva in the cells on the queen cage. Hopefully they made their way back into the hive.

WOW. Great Pics. I like the bee shot , one bee has wax on abdomen and another has pollen. I hardly had time to see bees at meeting, oh well. It was a very successful meeting, many new members, lots of great fund raising which was never more succesful in our little clubs history.All in all a great time, rain held off just long enough and oodles of homemade stuff to go along w/ dogs and burgers. Everyone meade their best sides an desserts and it was really nice to see so many beeks talking bees and stuff. Phew!
