Greetings Beeks!
This Monday, August 12, is our next monthly meeting. It will feature our very own Carla Parks! The presentation is "Products from The Hive… How to make and market the gifts from our bees!" I know you will enjoy learning about creative things you can do with bee products.
We will also give you an update about our annual picnic and other exciting events to come.
I hope to see you there – 7:00 – 8:30pm.

Hello Beeks!
I hope you had a safe and fun 4th holiday.
This Monday, July 8, is our monthly beekeeper club meeting at the Rockwood Park Nature Center. Meeting is from 7:00-8:30pm.
We will be hearing from Keith Tignor – our Virginia State Apiarist, speaking to us on varroa mites – how to check your hives. This is a timely and important topic for all of us.
I hope to see you there!

Since no one replied to our last email about the winning ticket – we have a new ticket drawn, #407513 – and we know who this ticket belongs to: Christy Damrath
Congrats Christy! You are the winner of the beautiful Inspired rock that was on display at the Festival entrance. Gene DiSalvo will reach out to you to make arrangements to present this wonderful stonework to you. Hopefully that can happen at RPBBA’s club meeting at the Nature Center in Rockwood Park on Monday, July 8.
Thanks to all who participated!
