We have a Speaker -  Oct 9 Meeting

Camilla Berry will talk some about her Afghanistan trip and her experiences with the beekeepers there.  She'll also talk about a healing salve she makes, of which honey is a critical ingredient.  She shared the recipe with several Afghan groups there, and women in Afghanistan are now selling this salve.  She'll bring some to share around.  She may also get to soap making with beeswax, which is a lesson we taught in an Afghan high school. Camilla will speak for free, but would really appreciate it you could mention that she accepts donations for our upcoming Afghanistan trip in March or April.  We go over to teach science, and she pays for the majority of the trip out of her own pocket.  Donations from bee groups in the past have been instrumental in allowing her to make the trips she has already made.

Roger Hess, one of our club members, died last year.  His wife, Kathy, has asked me to liquidate Roger's beekeeping equipment.  She is donating Roger's solar wax melter and extractor to the club, and has asked in return that we auction his remaining beekeeping equipment for her.  We have two car loads of just about anything you can imagine, including a fair amount of woodenware, plenty of bears and jars, two suits, etc.  We will be bringing all of this stuff to the next meeting in the hopes that all of you will buy the stuff...so bring some extra cash.  We will start the auction  after the meeting.

You can still get the cool pollination stamps from your local postoffice. Bats, Butterflys & HummingBirds are also pictured but we know who does the heavy lifting.
