I know a lot of people are interested in getting queens and making splits. As far as I know, there are no queens currently available. Does anyone have a source that can be tapped? Seems early doesnt it? I know of several people that want to splits but cant because of the timing. Hope they dont swarm...

I have sent you an email with an attachment.
Please let me know how things work out..

Hi Lacer! We are a very active group of beekeepers here in Guilford county even if this particular forum does not always reflect it. Please feel free to come to the beginner classes on this coming Thursday as you have not missed too much and a lot of interesting stuff is going to spoken on during th...

We kicked off another year with our annual beginner course last night!
I estimate approximately 45 people in attendance and an absolutely fantastic group of people.
It just gets better every year.

Wally:

The potatoes were a really big hit!
I even shared some with my co-workers and they are begging for more. Say they are the best they ever tasted.
Thanks for helping to make our bee association the success that it is. Your participation is greatly appreciated!

OK... Here is the skinny on the source closest to Greensboro. Obviously this depends on where you are in Greensboro. A map search says that it is about 71 miles from the center of Greensboro. Here are the steps to make it happen 1. Call Tate and Lyle at 1-800-345-0189 Your contact there will be Libb...

Hi everyone! It wont be long now and many of you will be interested in getting some new queens. I would encourage you to be placing your orders ASAP. I have already purchased 10 for the new year and will post if I have any extra. Interestingly enough, we now have 3 sources of queens that are quite l...

Well, it looks like everyone must be having a good year.
The nuc purchase will be completed by the middle of January.
If you are interested please plan on contacting Emerson Heatherly directly or through me.

Hi everyone!
Next warm spell we have, I plan on feeding my bees.
I was wondering if anyone else is planning on doing the same?
What will you be feeding?
Just curious.

Wally:

I am unsure of what exactly is going in with your sign on. Here is what I do know.
You are registered as Wally not as Iddee.
Perhaps you need to sign on under the name Wally and update your information to fix the problem.
Let me know if this helps.

Kurt

Wally:

WIll these keep until the next meeting?
If so I am sure folks would love to have some if you brought them with you.

Kurt

Wally:
Do you want me to send a direct email to the club members about the potatoes?

Kurt

Hi everyone! A reminder that any one interested in queens for next year should pursue them immediately. Even if you think that you might want one or need one place your oder with the queen breeder of your choice. Jack Tapp who is local will have queens hopefully by the end of March. Jack's # is (919...

I know it is a little late to post, but...
For those coming or not, our annual Christmas dinner is tonight (Tuesday).
Hope to see lots of you there.
For those reading this late, sorry!

While the association will be pursuing Russian nucs, I personally plan on purchasing packages. I am unable to use deep frames and so must pursue other options.
If interested, please contact me.

Kurt

Just a reminder that GCBA will be purchasing nucs for the upcoming 2006 season. We are planning on purchasing Russians and hope to see them around the middle of April. We expect the price to around $60 each. If desired, you may email me privately if you havent already signed up at the past meetings....

Hi Wally:
I figured you would have had plenty of honey this year with all the bees you have gathered!
If you still need some honey, I can have an email sent directly to Norman and then out to the association.
Let me know.
Thats a lot of honey for biscuits.

Kurt

As most of you are aware, Katrina definately had an impact on sugar prices and availability. I have been made aware that Atlantic Sweetners does not have any sugar syrup availale and will not due to the most recent natural disaster. They do however have HFCS but it will be going up in price shortly....
