Actually, I had killed the group because I was feeling lonely in it all by
myself. I have, however, recreated it so we have a place to plan without
cluttering up the OCBA list.
Once there is someone involved besides me, I will very happily share
administrative tools.

Thanks Lewis and Hi Everyone,
I agree...its been a busy few days on the OCBA for sure. I am very happy to
see the response to this offer in less than one day. I know of at least three
more people who haven't even chimed in yet.
To all that are interested: I would like to invite you
over to our mini farm for the first meeting to discuss this further and make a
plan about what the groups interests are and frame up a "phase one" plan that we
can take to the next OCBA meeting. I have been talking w/ Kitty & Chuck and
others about this and she has started a yahoo group to invite others in the
extended community. So like Lewis said...lets make it happen.
I will call & confirm w/ the the other folks that I was already in
talks with prior to this offer and send out a few dates so we all can compare
schedules.
Sound Good? -- Let me know if you have any other ideas.
Cheers,
Marty Hanks

Initial response to the chemical free
initiative has been very good. Now it is up to the chemical free folks
to organize, develop a plan, and make it happen.

Hello Beekeepers,
I would like to make a proposal that OCBA set up a chemical free
beekeeping group to teach and demonstrate chemical free methods. I'd
like for us to give our chemical free group a grant of $500 to purchase
equipment, queens, bring in speakers, or whatever they need for this thing
to grow legs. At the very minimum, I would like for OCBA to have a
chemical free demonstration yard managed by the chemical free folks that
would be used to teach and demonstrate these methods.
The bee yard could be any where that the group chooses. I went by
Whitted Bowers yesterday and spoke with Rob Bowers.
He is willing to host the chemical free bee yard. I have been keeping
bees there alongside Natalie Sadler for several years now so we already have
a built in relationship with him. The downside is that it is in N.
Orange and perhaps not very convenient for all. The up side is that
his 52 acre farm is certified organic and certified biodynamic.
I've already run this rough idea past the exec committee and it
certainly has their approval. Now I would like for our chemical free
folks to organize and decide if this is something that they would like to
do. From there we can work on the details.
Cheers,
Lewis
