Next Club Meeting is Monday JUNE 21 and we are having a Pizza Party!!
We are very happy to invite you and all DUES PAYING members of the Henderson County Beekeepers Association to our 2021 picnic on Monday, June 21st at 7 pm at the pavilion in Jackson Park next door to the Extension office, 100 Jackson Park Rd, Hendersonville NC 28739. The club would like to treat you to dinner from Acropolis Pizza. We will be serving vegetarian and meat pizza as well as Greek Salads and drinks. While there is no charge for dinner, we are asking for a $5.00 donation to BeeCity Hendersonville to help offset some left over expenses from the mural.
It has been much too long since we’ve had a chance to catch up and talk bees face to face and we are really looking forward to it. Renew your membership and join us.
IF YOU HAVEN’T RECEIVED AN EMAIL WITH A LINK TO RSVP (so we have a better idea how much to order), PLEASE EMAIL President@hcbeekeepers.org TO GET THE LINK. Thank you for your support.
Next Apiary Session – Saturday 6/19, 10 -12
Our Apiary Sessions are held at Historic Johnson Farm located at 3346 Haywood Rd, Hendersonville, NC 28791. Click HERE for a map. The entrance by the sign is usually closed on Saturday and Sunday so use the exit and park in front of the Interpretive Center. The Apiary is in the back of the property so walk down the driveway and we should be in behind the equipment barn on the left.
Two ideas: 1) Your mentor is probably going into his or her hives right now (when it warms up to at least 55°) and maybe you could go over to his or her apiary and at least observe if not help. 2) If you are able and willing to attend an apiary session on a weekday, and you haven’t let us know yet, please drop a quick note to info@hcbeekeepers and let us know. Maybe we could work something out.
