At August’s meeting Susan gave a nice presentation on controlling mites and keeping healthy bees. Susan’s overwintering successes are way above the norm because of her diligent bee management.

We have a new smoker contest winner, Carol Currotto! She will get her name on the treasured KBA Copper Smoker and have the bragging rights as champ until next year.
There was a fun raffle with the “Richard Brewster” method of choosing winners with playing cards. There was plenty of bee related items that members brought to the raffle.
Our cook for the picnic was none other than the NHBA president, Shane Howard. He and Bam kept us in meat from the grill. Great work guys!
We are having our annual potluck picnic and gathering at the Ramspott Farm in Sunapee, 223 North Rd. on July23 at 10 am.

This is a great time where we have a smoker contest, a raffle and a nice potluck meal where KBA provides the grilled meat. Bring your family because this is not to be missed.
