What a festival!
Wow – we had over 3,000 people attend our festival this year! Amazing! A HUGE thanks goes out to each of you that volunteered or ran a booth at this year’s event.
In case you missed it – here is our very own Bruce Hammond on TV, talking about the festival:

Monthly Meeting Monday June 10 7:00 PM
Fellow Beeks
My humblest apologies! I was wrong about Kirsten Traynor speaking tonight. Instead, we are having a panel discussion entitled “Ask the Beekeeper “. In other words, YOU get to decide what is discussed at tonight’s meeting. Kirsten Traynor will be featured later this year.
Again, I apologize for the miscommunication.

Hello Beeks!
This is a friendly reminder that we are meeting on Monday June 10 at 7pm. This is the final meeting before our Honeybee Festival. Don’t worry – we will be discussing more than the festival at our meeting. Kristen Traynor will be speaking to our group. It will be informative as always.
Attached is our 2019 Honeybee Festival flyer. Please send this to everyone you know who might be interested in coming. Our festival is from 10am to 2pm on Saturday, June 15 – at the Rockwood Park Nature Center. We can always use last minute help if you are willing to assist in setup or tear down. Please do!
One last reminder – be looking over the proposed amendments/changes to our by-laws. We will be voting on those changes shortly after the Honeybee Festival. If you have any questions about those changes, please contact Steve Syratt at w.s.syrettg
Hope to see you this week!
