Comment by Heather K on December 31, 2010 at 11:03am: Beekeepers! Would anyone like to start a Discussion page on our EarthGarden site for Beekeepers?

The local Mt Baker Beekeepers Meeting is Weds Jan 12 at 7pm

Club usually meets 2nd Weds each month except July.

Annual membership dues of $15.

See website for more info: http://www.mtbakerbeekeepersassn.org/

" On the January Agenda: It’s in the works. More agenda news to come. At the very least, we’ll want to talk about how our bees are surviving the winter and plans for the coming season. Not too early to think about raising your own queens in 2011. Plenty of MBBA members have done it and can help out. Oh, gosh, that’s almost a full agenda right there! As usual, bring your questions and answers and we’ll sort things out.

About refreshments: We’re back to trading off by alphabetic last names, so this time it’s A-M. And a big thanks and wahoo! to those who brought all the scrumptuous desserts and beverages for the December meeting."
