FOR THE COMMUNITY | FOR BEEKEEPERS |
| Are you ready for the EXTRACTION? While we are seeing the end of the nectar flow, it is time to start thinking about extracting honey. If you have supers that your bees are filling and you are new to harvesting honey, our club is here to help. We have a HONEY EXTRACTION WORKSHOP scheduled for Saturday, June 17 at Tom and Linda Savage's pavilion starting at 11am. Pot luck lunch around 11:30. Let us know what you plan to bring ahead of time. We will begin extraction after lunch. All members and guests are invited to join us for lunch and to observe and learn, even if you are not planning to extract. If you want to extract from your frames, we need to know how many you plan to bring so we can schedule. Bring a mesh strainer and two buckets for every super you plan to extract. If you are not already a member, come join our club, attend our meetings and ask experienced beekeepers questions you have such as:
|
- Person County Beekeepers Association booth won 2nd place at the North Carolina State Fair in 2022?
- Our members actively participate in events and win awards for their honey and wax products?
