Howdy, Everyone!

Please join us for an uncommon December Meeting with a homegrown speaker, our very own longtime member, hailing from Corolla – Heidi Leo – who will present a sort of Four-Season Review about her experiences, experiments, trials, & triumphs in a coastal apiary. 

You don’t want to miss the last meeting of 2022… This will be a great meeting packed with insight and info for EVERYONE – whether you’re an established beekeeper, a new-bee member, or newly interested in beekeeping/ joining the OBBG!

DATE: This Wednesday, December 14th, 2022

WHERE: Kill Devil Hills Library, 400 Mustian St, KDH 27948.

WHEN: 7:00 PM – Arrive at 6:30 p.m. to socialize/help set up chairs, meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. Library locks the front door at 5:00, so follow the sidewalk around the left of the building to the back door.

Raffle ($1 donation each ticket) will be held at the end of the meeting if we have contributions!  Feel free to bring anything bee-related or not!  Regifting is not frowned upon!

PS: Don’t forget to check your hives stores/ resources and feed them if low or light! 

I would suggest fondant, sugar boards, or sugar patties at this time…
2:1 Sugar syrup is usually recommended but I’ve read that once nighttime temps drop below 50 degrees it is more difficult for them to process, along with acting as a heat sink and introducing moisture into your hive.
