Franklin County Beekeepers Association Meeting

The meeting will be held on Monday, January 19, starting at 6:30 PM.

 

JANUARY Meeting with FCBA President, Master Beekeeper, GREG COOTWARE

Greg will speak on his On The Spot (O.T.S.) beekeeping system that he uses with his three apiaries.  O.T.S. IS A NATURAL METHOD FOR RAISING HIGH-QUALITY LOCAL QUEENS AND CONTROLLING MITES BY CREATING "ARTIFICIAL SWARMS.  O.T.S. leverages natural bee behavior to create brood breaks, boosting colony health and allowing beekeepers to expand their apiary and produce robust winter-hardy queens.  

 

Additionally, please pay your annual FCBA dues: $15 for a family and $10 for a single. Payments can be submitted to Tom Graney, FCBA Treasurer, at 206 Mill Village Road, Deerfield, MA 01342, or dues can also be paid at our monthly meetings.

We will hold a raffle during the meeting. Please bring any unwanted holiday gifts (new or gently used) to contribute as raffle prizes. Everyone is welcome to participate!
 
Refreshments will be served.
