Greetings,
Our last SDC Beekeepers meeting of the year will be held Thursday 9/26/24, starting at 6:30 PM……reminder that we now meet at our NEW LOCATION: St John’s United Methodist Church located at 1200 Old Pecos Trail here in Santa Fe.
As is our tradition, we will be having a honey tasting so please bring a sample of your 2024 harvest to share with the group.
Among other information, we will share how to prepare your own Extended Release Oxalic Acid sponges for mite treatment.
Here is a video we shared at our last meeting regarding Varroa mites….and a link for the Varroa Management Decision Tool:
As a bonus, before our meeting, we will be demonstrating mite testing, for those that are interested, at Dean and Cindy Fry’s apiary (1461 Encina Rd)* which is nearby our meeting location, starting at 6:00 PM.
We hope you all can join in person,
Kate and Steve
