Bee Yard Visit POSTPONED until Saturday, June 21 at 5 pm

Unfortunately, the June 14th visit to John & Melany Letourneau's bee yard had to be be postponed, due to cold weather. The new date and time will be next Saturday, June 21, at 5 pm. The same logistical information applies: attendees can park at the Apple Barn on Route 7; the yard is in the field down the hill from the parking lot. Please bring yourself, any interested friends, and your gloves and protective clothing (remember: it's good bio-security practice, as well as a friendly gesture, to wash your gloves & suit in unscented detergent the day before visiting someone else's bee yard, as keeping clothes clean reduces the risk of spreading pathogens between yards). Please do not bring your own hive tools, smokers, or other equipment in order to further reduce the risk of pathogen spread.

This delay does not affect our Club's planning meeting on June 26, starting at 6:30 pm at the Bennington Free Library, in advance of the upcoming Vermont Beekeepers' Association Summer Meeting on July 19 here in Bennington. Please see our previous message for details on the planning meeting.

Please stay tuned for further news from us, and we hope to see you at the bee yard visit and the planning meeting.
