The club meeting will begin at 1 pm and run until around 1:30 pm. Then we will have a couple of demonstrations from club members followed by hive inspections, mite checks, how to make a split and getting ready for honey. Members will need to bring a chair, bee protection and sign a waiver. Having the meeting outdoors members can social distance as they feel comfortable. We will have someone assigned to serve members cafeteria style to avoid unnecessary touching of food.
