This month's meeting will be on Tuesday, February 16, 2010, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Bayland Community Center. The public is invited. Admission is free.
The February program of the HBA, will include a hands-on demonstration of how one uses a queen excluder to find the queen. Rest assured that no bees will be used in this demonstration. However, visually seeing how the technique is performed will help you find your queen when all else has failed. This is not the easiest way to find a queen, but it is a sure way when all else has failed. Come learn this technique.
At last month's meeting, we discussed the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and the bee booth that is part of the AGventure exhibit. The Livestock Show and Rodeo is coming up from March 2 through March 21, 2010. We always help with the Bee Booth, and we will again discuss what that is all about at the February meeting.
There will also be a Q & A session, so bring your hardest questions.
