President's Memo

I came across a video (about 60 minutes long) from Bee Culture magazine from 2017 that offers beekeeping techniques specific to the Southeast and encompassed the whole bee year. Click --->Honey in the Southeast to view. Here are just a few of the topics and considerations covered. 

What will you do with the honey?

How far are you willing to have your bees from your house?

Build your winter bees.

What makes a Good Location?

If you don’t move your bees, you need to have both the Spring and Summer Flow.

CABA is beginning to plan for its annual fundraiser. We have not held an annual fundraiser since Covid-19 surfaced and we are ready to kick-off a fundraising social event! We are looking for 4-5 members to help plan and steer this event. Do you have resources to help with food planning, auction items, local celebrity speakers, venue settings? We can use your help and new ideas. Please contact Michelle Orillion at cabeekeepers@gmail.com or connect with me at the next meeting!
