Alicia Robicheaux lives 14 miles north of Las Vegas at the base of Hermit Peak. She says there are some non-aggressive bees in her house, and she thinks they are honey bees. She would like some help getting them into a hive body. Are any of our beekeepers in that area who would be willing to take a look? Just let me know, and I will get your contact info. to her. Meanwhile, she is on one of our FB groups, and I will ask her to join this email list. Thank you. Dorothy

SdC Beekeepers meeting Wed. March 11 at 6:30, Railyard Community Room
by Kate Whealen 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

To start the 2020 beekeeping season we will meet Wednesday March 11 at 6:30 in the Railyard Community Room. We will discuss organizing a swarm call list and protocols. Many times reports of bee swarms are not honeybees at all but can be wasps or native bees. Proper identification is key to figuring out removal strategies. I have been photographing native bee species and wasps to help with identification so we will look at some photos and specimens. Jason and I have started 2 new photo galleries on the Sdcbeeks.org website for native bees and wasps, check them out. Best, Kate Here is a link to a little map <https://www.railyardpark.org/community-room/> that shows the exact location of the Community Room. https://www.railyardpark.org/community-room/ <https://www.railyardpark.org/community-room/> The address is 701 Callejon. Parking is free after 6 p.m.
