The goal of the SBA is to educate association members and the public about honeybees, beekeeping and related arts, to provide a resource for established beekeepers, to aid new beekeepers in bee management techniques, to inform the public about the value of honeybees, and to promote beekeeping in general! SBA apparel is now available. Check out the Bee Board for details. |
Watch this space for updates and special announcements Honey bee on wingstem (golden honey plant) at Steppingstone, where it is plentiful this fall.Interestingly, it appears that bees can discern each other's age and rank by scent, as reported in a recent article. Pat Endres, SBA member, shared photos and a video of his "Tower of Power," a hive started from a swarm last fall that has turned into a major producer. Photos and a video here. Jason Rubin's Bee-minder notes for each SBA meeting will now be posted on the website. The Bee-minder page is linked from the meetings page, as well. |
