Hello Beekeepers,
Our state fair display this year will include a fair number of beeswax  
candles and we need you to pitch in with this effort.  David Langham  
has graciously agreed to bring his candle making skills and equipment  
to the table for us on September 26th.  We will be meeting at my shop  
in Cedar Grove at 9 am and turning out all sorts of cool beeswax  
gidgets.  Please mark your calendar and plan to join us for this fun  
and educational work.

If you have wax that you would be willing to donate to the cause, just  
bring it with you on the 26th.  If you can't make it but you would  
like to chip in some wax, just let me know and I'll swing by and pick  
it up (or bring it to the meeting on Sept 10th.

Next Sunday, August 30th, Cedar Grove will be doing a bit of an open  
house.  The Bee Works shop will be on the list of things to come and  
see so come on out if you are able.  We hope to be extracting a few  
frames of honey, we'll have a nuc on hand for folks to dig in to,  
we'll have an observation hive, we'll be letting folks taste some of  
our real deal local honey (as well as some sourwood from Black  
Mountain), and whatever else fun and exciting stuff we can figure  
out.  Also on the tour will be the Whitted Bowers Biodynamic Fruit  
Farm, Anathoth Community Garden, boat rides on Lake Orange, Cedar  
Grove Blueberry Farm, and about 10 other sites.  For more info, see  
CGUMC.

Also...An updated version of the handout that Jennifer had at our  
meeting the other night about preparing honey for competition may be  
found here.

Cheers,

Lewis
