Hello Beekeepers, My last remaining colony has just died,
and though I had been telling myself that when that happened I would retire
from beekeeping, because arthritis in my hands makes managing the hives increasingly
hard, it felt so sad to have no bees about the place that my husband said to go
ahead and order another package, and he would do most of the heavy lifting for
me. So I have. I had also begun to think, though, that I
might offer our place as a site for other beekeepers, who might want more space
for their hives. I could do some mentoring if needed, and I also have a fair
bit of unused equipment. And now I’m wondering if this might be in a
convenient spot for some of the “Natural” Beekeepers to locate
hives. We live on Rose From:
ocba-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:ocba-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Lewis Cauble 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. Lewis On Feb 25, 2012, at 9:59 AM, Lewis Cauble wrote:
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 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 _________________________________________ |
