Hi fellow beekeepers,
Since school in Orange and Seminole counties begins August 18, I thought it would be prudent to hold our next meeting on August 14 so parents aren't stressed out about the first week of school.
And you do not want to miss this meeting!
David Westervelt, Environmental Specialist, Apiary Research, Bureau of Plant and Apiary inspection, Division of Plant Industry, Florida Department of Agriculture will be out guest speaker.
David will give us an overview of his recent trip to Australia and show some photos. He will then discuss pest control in the beehive and let us know how to apply certain remedies. And of course, answer all of your questions.
We will meet in the Azalea Room at 7:00 p.m., Thursday, August 14, 2008 at the Orange County Extension Offices located at 6021 S. Conway Road, Orlando.
Oh, by the way, we will have a guest beekeeper visiting from Scotland in October who will be bringing a powerpoint presentation. We will have the October meeting fairly early in that month as well in order to accommodate his travel schedule. More to come!
Beth Fox
