There is no meeting this week for August 2022. 

We will have another meeting in September, I believe Rick Coor will be our speaker… he usually covers Queens/Queen Rearing but if there is anything else everyone would like covered, I can see if he’s comfortable covering another topic. 

Please feel free to submit any meeting topics or ideas. 

A reminder to go to our website outerbanksbeekeepers.com and subscribe to our newsletter there to ensure you’re receiving the Website notifications & our Mailchimp Newsletter… this is how we communicate about anything and everything. 


If anyone needs any help or has questions about their hives…. REACH OUT! Call me and let me know and I will put you in contact with a beekeeper closest to your area.

stay cool out there!
