SUMMARY:Field Day - Combining colonies
DESCRIPTION:Our next Field Day will be held Saturday\, July 18 at Jim's Bee Barn\, beginning at 9:00 a.m. Field Days are held the Saturday following each monthly meeting and are a great opportunity to gain hands-on beekeeping experience\, ask questions\, and learn alongside fellow members in the apiary.\n\n\n\nThis month\, David S. Broxterman will demonstrate how and why to combine hives as we begin preparing colonies for fall. We'll break at noon for our traditional pitch-in lunch\, (bring a dish\, appetizer or dessert to share) followed by more time working bees in the afternoon.\n\n\n\nRachel and Margaret will lead short weed walks around the apiary\, highlighting common plants and discussing their value to honey bees and other pollinators.\n\n\n\nWhether you're a new beekeeper or have years of experience\, we hope you'll join us for a fun and educational day!\n\n\n\nLocation:\nThe Bee Barn (Ark Farm and Kennel)\n8340 E. IN-48 Milan\, IN 47031

SUMMARY:2026 Aurora Farmers Fair
DESCRIPTION:The Aurora Farmers Fair approaches!. The fair runs from Wed. Sept. 30 through Sat. Oct. 3. Click here to see more details on the Farmers Fair website. \nWe need you! Join your fellow SIBA friends by grabbing a shift. Here's your chance to package up your products from the hive (honey\, wax\, skin cream\, lip balm\, etc) and sell it at the booth. Get your honey into bottles\, make your wax candles and other creations from the hive and be ready to sell them at the SIBA booth. The volunteer sign-up form is now live for you to claim your spot! Please note\, shifts are first-come\, first-served. So\, when you sign up\, we'll get back to you to confirm your shift. \nTake a look at the pricing model below for all products sold at the booth. We are limiting the products sold at the booth slightly this year. Also included within are the honey bottling guidelines. \nWe have price adjustments for products that will be sold at the booth to accommodate the cost of the booth rental and to get the beekeeper back a fair price for their product. So\, in most cases\, your products will be marked up slightly. When you check in your product\, we will take inventory\, answer your questions and make sure you know how much you'll get back in the end. If you have any questions\, ASK! \n1. Shifts are "filled" on a first-come\, first-served basis. When you fill out the form\, we'll get your submissions time stamped in the order they were sent. We ask for your primary and a secondary preference in the event your primary selection is already filled. We will CONFIRM back to you what shift you get. That said\, we're not worried about anyone just showing up and hanging out. After all\, it's the fair! We just want to make sure the people who committed are there. If you commit to a shift\, PLEASE SHOW UP. Often\, someone else will have wanted your shift. Click here for the volunteer sign-up form. \n2. If you want to sell any of your products\, you must work at least ONE shift. In the past\, we would accept and sell products at the booth for any of our beekeepers. However\, due to changing rules and licensing\, etc.\, you have to be present to sell your product\, just like you would be present at a Farmers Market. If you commit to work one shift\, we will accept your product\, and have it available for purchase during the entire fair. Again\, you would commit to working at least one shift. You can bring any products to sell to the September meeting and leave with Jason Morgan or\, you can just show up with them for your shift(s). \nThe inventory form states the products you left with us\, how much it will be sold for at the booth\, and how much money (or any unsold product) you will expect back. This sheet and your products arrive together. We mark products up slightly to cover the cost of the booth and space. Like past years\, products will be screened and final prices set at the fair! You will get 80% back minus your prorated share of booth expenses. We will have a raffle of bee products and the proceeds will be applied to booth expenses. If you come and work the booth you may push your products but all sales will be through the SIBA sales box. Checked in products belong to the club until settlement. YOU will be responsible for picking up your remaining products at the October bee meeting. We'll let everyone know the various ways to reclaim your products and final check\, but we won't be tracking everyone down as hard as we had to last year 😉 \n3. Make sure all honey products are labeled properly. Your honey must be bottled to these guidelines: \n\nBe in a clean\, new bottle\, with no sticky honey on the outside\nMason jars and plastic jugs are OK\, but they have to be clean\, no stickiness on the outside\, and include the required info\nHave your name and contact information on the bottle (phone and email)\nThe net weight of the honey clearly marked on the bottle.\n\n2026 Products and Booth Pricing\nClick here to view\, download and print the Farmers Fair booth product pricing. If you plan to sell products at the booth\, please make sure you see your product listed in this sheet and print it to mark your inventory. Bring the completed sheet and your products with you to the fair to check them in. \nThe volunteer sign-up form is now live for you to claim your spot!
