Our monthly SDC Beekeepers Meeting will be held today, August 16th starting at 6:30 p.m. This month we are excited to have Sante Fe’s own Steve Wall of Buckin’ Bees join us. Steve will share his process for mite testing/treatment as well as fall hive management (preparation for winter). Steve has been beekeeping since 2000 and maintains about 100 Lanstroth hives throughout the Santa Fe area and is a “fixture” at the Santa Fe Farmers Market each Saturday during the season. Our in person meeting will be held a the Unitarian Universalist Church, located at 107 W Barcelona Rd. here in Santa Fe. After announcements and brief lecture period we will travel a short distance to Cindy & Dean Fry’s apiary where Steve Wall will demonstrate how to perform a sugar roll test for varroa mites. Please bring a veil/protective gear for the demonstration. For those unable to attend in person, please join us via Zoom for the lecture portion: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83707672407?pwd=UzNPbnI0ZU9SSjZ4T3ZWaUhxdjdBQT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83707672407?pwd=UzNPbnI0ZU9SSjZ4T3ZWaUhxdjdBQT09> Meeting ID: 837 0767 2407 Passcode: SDC
