The PCBA's annual extraction workshop and potluck lunch will be this Saturday, June 25th at 10 AM at Tom and Linda Savage's farm at 609 Whitmore Road in Hurdle Mills. Please email Whitney Barnes (spud1296 AT charter.net) no later than noon on Friday, June 24th to let her know how many will attend from your family, whether you would like to bring frames of honey for extraction and how many, and what you are planning to bring (drinks and paper products provided by club). This workshop is an excellent opportunity to watch, participate, and learn about the honey extraction process.  Come and hear suggestions on how best to separate the bees from their honey, the different methods for uncapping the honey, and lots of other important aspects of harvesting honey and wax. If you have already extracted and bottled some honey this year, please feel free to bring it for a peer review especially if you are thinking of entering at the fair this year!
