My wife and I were late getting to the mini-workshop as it was our turn to pick up aluminum cans for the Neighborhood Watch. Everyone else that could pick up for us was out of town.

When we got to the meeting place, the speakers were winding down with Mites, Wax Moths, and Small hive beetles. There was a discussion on the different kinds of beetle traps and how to load them with oil, lime, and other kinds of anti beetle killers. Also how long to leave the traps before having to clean them out. Enough information that I could write another post. I’ll start making  some notes.

There were 20- 25 people there and at least 4 of them were newbies. I just wish we could have gotten there sooner. When we started eating the mullet and potluck food that was brought by NEBA members, there were several different conversations carried on by the groups  ( tables) about the subjects of the workshop speakers. It was a great meeting and time of fellowship with other beekeepers.

Maybe next year, I will get the word out a little sooner and we can have a larger crowd.
