Hello,
Reminder: Come to Olive Day! There will be a BeeGroup table, so come on down, hang out and learn about bees--and check out the demonstration hive, car show, enter a raffle, do some line dancing, have a beer, and eat a chicken liver sandwich! It's another great opportunity to talk to beekeepers about your bees and prepping for winter.

Rob has volunteered to get a booth at Olive Day in September, held annually at Davis Park. Olive Day didn't happen last year. It's a great time! Please email Rob if you have interest helping out--man the table, talk to people about bees, etc. Rob will have a demo hive. It doesn't matter your level of experience. He's done it in the past and it's been lots of fun. And Olive Day is a great Town picnic. We can also picnic as a group, too. Please email Rob with your interest: rob@bushkillventures.com

I sent a sample down a month ago and my hive was loaded with mites -- in December! Please share results with Rob,Tom and the BeeGroup so we can help keep tabs on what is happening in the 'hood. Thanks! CLICK HERE for details on how to submit a sample.

Hudson Valley Hives is a beekeeping group that meets at the Olive Free Library on a monthly basis and discuss all things beekeeping. The meeting is driven by members questions and sharing experiences with the goal of spreading timely knowledge among fellow beekeepers. It is very informal and we welcome anyone interested to participate. If you are just thinking about getting started in beekeeping, a new beekeeper, or a seasoned beekeeper, you will benefit from the group discussions. There is no membership fee. The Olive Free Library graciously provides a meeting place for our group and we encourage you to make a donation to the library if you find the BeeGroup helpful.
