January BCBC Meeting, the first in 2025

Hello All,

We're planning to gather next Thursday, 1/9/25, at 6:30 with a potluck and a 7:00 meeting upstairs in the Bennington Free Library.  Bring a dish to share and your own plate and utensils. Please come! 

We'll be discussing how your bees are doing and what measures you've been taking recently.  We'll have a raffle so if you have a donation please bring one, it doesn't have to be honey bee related. 

If you've had losses so far please consider getting a sample of dead bees tested by the UVM Bee Lab or the USDA Bee Lab.
