SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:For April\, we meet back at Garry's workshop... and who better to host our April topic than Garry himself? Garry will be telling us how to evaluate queen bees. What makes a good or bad queen? What should you look for? We all know that while the queen really doesn't rule the hive\, it still takes a vigorous\, healthy queen to make the best hive. Weather permitting\, we'll be getting into some hives too. Bring your veils! \nMeetings are held the 3rd Thursday of each month at 6:30pm at Garry's Workshop in Moore's Hill. Open to the public. We'll update the topic here ahead of time. Stop back soon.

SUMMARY:Indiana Bee School XVI
DESCRIPTION:It is that time again when we all look forward to registering for the Bee School.  With wonderful local and national speakers\, super topics\, great lunch and hundreds of beekeepers that we haven’t seen since the previous year\, we seem to get bigger and better and this year will be no exception.  Once again\, we have a first time guest speaker for the Indiana Bee School.  Dr. Jeff Harris is from the Mississippi State University\, see "Who is our Guest Speaker" on our Indiana Bee School XVI page for more information. \nThe new software is now in place for online registration.  You may also register via email\, click here to download the registration form and mail in the payment. \nYou’ll notice on the form this year\, we have member and non-member prices.  All events beginning in 2018\, (Indiana Bee School\, Purdue Field Day and the Fall Conference) will allow members to pay a lower fee.  This was voted and passed by the TBoI board and validated that doing so we’d still be in compliance with our 501(c)(3) status. \nBeginning Classes \nWe have brought back the beginning beekeeping classes.  Each attendee that registers for the beginning beekeeping classes will be in a single classroom all day and will receive a wrist band that is required to be worn to give them access to the classroom.

SUMMARY:SIBA Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Karen Ferguson will talk about taking notes and logs for each hive. Paying attention to what's going on in each hive is one thing\, writing it down in a way that you can remember it is another. It's so important to know what the state of the hive was the last time you were in it so that you can see marked improvement\, or decline at the current inspection. Over time\, you will be able to look back in the notes to make more educated decisions. \nKaren has provided the following hive log sheet in PDF format in prep for the meeting. If you can\, print and bring to the meeting to have something up close while she speaks. \n\nHive Inspection Sheet - PDF\n\nThe SIBA general meetings are held the third Thursday of each month and start at 6:30pm. \nThe winter meetings (Dec. 2017\, and Jan-Mar 2018) will be held at the Moores Hill Senior Center. The address is: 16610 N. Broadway Moores Hill In. 47032.

SUMMARY:SIBA General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Garry Reeves will be running the December topic on repairing your equipment. Garry runs the Winter Workshop series each winter... inviting members to his workshop to build new equipment or repair their used equipment.

See you there!

SUMMARY:SIBA General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:By way of a unanimous vote at the September meeting\, there are enough newer beekeepers that wanted to cover the topic of candy boards for the November meeting. \nJason Morgan will do a hands-on demonstration and make a candy board before your very eyes. Candy boards offer some peace of mind over the winter... especially if you think your hive is really low on honey stores. The benefits of a candy board made correctly adds many benefits to help the bee hive over the winter. The candy board is simply a hardened sugar mixture that lives in a 2-3 inch frame body and has hardware cloth on the bottom to hold the "candy" up. Find out more about candy boards here and watch the video we made previously. We've updated some of our beliefs about candy boards since the video was made... so\, join us in November to hear the latest\, and ask your questions! \nThe candy board we make will be raffled off at the end of the meeting. Also\, Garry's first Winter workshop will be held the Sat. after the November meeting because December will just be too busy! If you are inspired to make candy boards from the November meeting\, then this workshop may be the one to come to and make a few up!

SUMMARY:SIBA General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The monthly general SIBA meeting occurs the third Thursday of each month. \n--- \nWe have a special treat for all of you this month. We've assembled an elite group of SIBA members to talk about pests and diseases. These members all keep bees within a 50 mile radius of Garry's Workshop so the pests and diseases discussed should be very relevant to all of us! \nAndy Wigam and Karen Ferguson will start the meeting in Garry's apiary with an alcohol wash on a bee hive. This is probably the most important tool in the beekeepers toolbox. You need to have a wash kit\, and an understanding on how to use it to monitor the mite loads in your beehive. Only when the beekeeper is aware\, can they do something about the mites. Bring your veils and be on time! We'll start in the hive promptly at 6:30pm. \nOnce done\, we'll move inside where Jim Orem will follow with announcements and other annoying club business. \nBrian Wingerberg will then take over talking about mites. He'll turn it over to Garry Reeves and Jason Morgan to give an update on the OA shop towels and other pertinent information about options for dealing with mites. \nDave Rieman will follow up about hive beetles (SHB) and wax moth. Dave will hand things off to Dave Broxterman who will cover nosema and fowl brood. He'll also be our clean-up hitter to cover alternate pests or disease. We hope this will turn in to a club discussion and members are free to chime in! \nWe at SIBA believe that mites are our biggest problem as far as pests and diseases go. Mites are the invisible enemy when you are not looking. They are responsible for mid-season\, late-season and spring warm-up deadouts. It's just that simple. If your colony has a mite load that is over the threshhold\, then they are already getting sick with viruses. Being proactive on identifying mites at lower levels will allow you to make the decisions you need to reduce those numbers\, and maintain more healthy hives. When hives have low mites\, it's amazing how most other things just take care of themselves. \nHope to see you at Garry's Workshop on Thursday\, July 15 at 6:30pm!
