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
