Last Saturday, an OCBA volunteer crew sorted through the hives that were donated to OCBA in December. 20 members volunteered to help with the workday. You can see the team in action at: http://theocba.org/category/club-news/

Hives that will be donated to OCBA’s 2017 and 2018 youth apprentices were selected from this equipment. In addition 4 hives each were set aside for possible educational use at McDougle Elementary and Frank Porter Graham Elementary. 

OCBA now has 18 complete set ups (bottom board, single-deep, queen excluder, top feeder, robbing screen and telescoping top cover) available for purchase by members of OCBA. Each set up is $75. This 10-frame equipment was new in 2016. Some scraping and cleaning may be necessary. If you are interested in purchasing one of these hives, please contact me via email. Purchase requests made by current members of OCBA will be given priority. If you have not yet paid your 2017 dues you may do so online. 

We also have a few miscellaneous hive components available:
  • metal covered telescoping tops $10
  • top feeders $10
  • wooden framed queen excluders $6
  • bottom boards (most solid, but some screened) $8
Proceeds from the sale of this equipment will be used to support OCBA education and outreach activities.
