SUMMARY:SIBA General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:For November\, Jeff Montag presents! \n"As a nuc and queen producer\, I find that many prospective and new beekeepers have a lot of misgivings about what they should expect in the buildup of their colony. \nI plan to present the steps “from start to honey”\, for those who I mentor.  The year-plus progression in taking a new colony from start (nuc\, swarm\, package)\, with all new equipment\, to a honey producing hive. \nWhile it will be targeted for the new beekeepers who are looking forward to that first honey harvest\, it will provide great opportunity for our more experienced members to add in their thoughts and how they may vary the steps." \nSIBA Meetings occur the 3rd Thursday of each month through the year. Topics are announced here ahead of each meeting.

SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Jim Orem will be speaking on the topic of swarm catching and swarm traps. Jim is known as the authority on swarm catching here at SIBA and each year\, we ask him to update us on what is new. He has a regular regimen of making rounds to 40+ swarm traps he has spread out around the area and catching so many\, he often has a surplus that he sees into the hands of new beekeepers getting started. \nThere really is an ideal size and location for a swarm trap. Jim will tell you how you can improve your success on trapping swarms. Free local bees are the best bees you can get\, so don't miss this one!

SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting - Dwight Wells
DESCRIPTION:Forty-Eight Hour Queen Cells\nPresented by Dwight Wells \nDwight Wells \nThis presentation is an overview of the about\, why and how of 48 Hour Queen Cells in an innovative process to produce and distribute Honey Bee Genetics Locally. Beekeepers can finish the queen cell production and queen mating in their local drone gene pools with their equipment and resources. \n48-hour Queen cell distribution overcomes the problem of one Beekeeper Grafting\, cell starting\, finishing and mating queens which requires a lot of time\, equipment and bee resources. \nA bonus can happen if a group of beekeepers develop a network of colonies to provide evaluated/selected breeding stock for the 48 Hour Queen Cell Project. \n“Distribution Of improved genetics appears to be the weak link in the chain when it comes to propagating local queens from local stock”. \nDr Joe Latshaw - Bee Culture April 2011

SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:David Hocutt will be joining us to talk about "checkerboarding\," a management technique to prevent swarming. We've used the term checkerboarding in our club in the past to talk about alternating brood frames and foundation frames. The bees have a tendency to want to reconnect the brood chamber by filling the frames in between with eggs. David will talk about checkerboarding as a means to prevent the bees from swarming by creating the illusion they have plenty more space in the hive. Join us!

SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Back by request\, Jason Morgan will lead a discussion on mead-making. So you managed to get a good honey harvest\, and you happen to have a couple extra gallons of honey. Have you ever thought about making mead with your honey? Mead is very similar to a fruit wine\, but the sweetener used is honey instead of sugar. Just like in winemaking\, there are many styles of mead that vary depending on the fruit used and the process employed. \nThis is a great winter-time topic. Jason will show the basic 10 things you need to make wine and mead (and you will likely have several of these items at home already)\, and then walk through the process from beginning to end. \nBring your questions and let's talk mead in December!

SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Jason Morgan will cover the topic of making and using candy boards over the winter. This meeting is geared towards newer beekeepers who may be wondering what a candy board is\, how to make one\, and when to use one. The candy board will help provide winter food for your bees\, while also doubling as a moisture-wicking mechanism at the top of the hive and will prevent condensation from dripping back down onto the bee cluster. Aside from the candy board\, we'll talk about wind-breaks\, mouseguards and other things to consider as we put the bees to bed for the winter months. As always\, bring your questions. \nAttention: The November meeting is the last meeting at Garry's Workshop before we move to the Moores Hill Senior Center for our winter meetings starting in December! \n

SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting - October
DESCRIPTION:Chris Whipple from Diversified Services will be discussing a new Apiculture insurance program. This product was just released in our area. Chris will cover all of the aspects of this new federally subsidized program. Many beekeepers have implemented various risk management techniques to help alleviate some of the effects of drought; however\, the beekeeping industry historically has not been able to participate in subsidized federal crop insurance programs. While the program is new\, you can take advantage of the available government subsidies and implement a solid risk management tool to help offset some of the effects of drought. \nChris Whipple\nCell: (812) 560-1340\nToll Free: (800) 833-1796\nFax: (812) 663-6907\n \nMeetings are held the 3rd Thursday of each month at 6:30pm at Garry's Workshop in Moore's Hill. Open to the public. There are no dues. If you are even thinking about getting honey bees\, come to a meeting and learn a little first!

SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mike Bentz will be presenting the topic small hive beetle (SHB) and honey labeling guidelines. Two things that are timely as ever. SHB continues to be a real pest in the hive. As beekeepers bring in their honey\, it's important to think about how it is stored until it is slung. In the past\, we'd let it air out in the honey house. Now days\, honey that is not guarded by bees is subject to the "sliming" of SHB. Will you sling it fast\, freeze it\, or something else? Mitigation of SHB in the hive is typically a multi-pronged approach. Let's talk about it! \nNow that you have some honey\, what will you do with it? Will you sell any to friends\, family or via the local Farmer's Market? There are some basic guidelines you'll need to follow to keep yourself legal and out of trouble. Dr. Bentz will also go over this information. Bring your questions and see you there. \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:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Gary Mullen will lead the topic on varroa mites! The varroa mite is a beekeepers biggest concern. 80% of colony failures can be attributed to the varroa mite. When mites are not in check\, a variety of issues plague the hive. In this meeting\, we'll talk about the ways to monitor for mites (including the alcohol wash) and what to do if you find the levels are above the ideal threshold. \nThis meeting is a precursor to the field day workshop being held at Dave Rieman's apiary on the following Saturday where we'll conduct live alcohol washes on multiple hives. \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: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.

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. It seemed fitting to ask him to present in December\, and since we all should be thinking about how many hives we'd like to have set up in the 2018 season\, now is the time to start getting things ready. \nCome to the December meeting\, and then watch for the next two winter workshop dates! 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:Join us at Garry's workshop for the August meeting where we'll have two presentations. \nGary Mullen will bring a solar wax melter and tell us about this important beekeeping tool. \nAlso\, Simon Kuntz from The Bee Corp will share his hive monitoring product "Queen's Guard." A pretty cool story out of IU\, three students\, Ellie Symes\, Simon Kuntz and Wyatt Wells co-founded the company that produces a system that will accurately monitor your hive for queenlessness. \nAfter working one summer as an apprentice to an Ohio beekeeper\, CEO Ellie Symes returned to campus with a vision. To kick off her sophomore year at Indiana University\, Ellie applied for a grant from the Hutton Honors College to help fund the first student-run beehives at IU. \nDownload the brochure to learn more about the product\, and how it works. \nVisit the Bee Corp website at www.thebeecorp.com to learn more.

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!

SUMMARY:SIBA General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Debbie Seib will visit in June and she's talking nucs. Nucs are a great tool for the beekeeper. We'll be discussing what to do with the nucs you've started and answering questions you might have after starting a nuc. \nSo you have an emergency nuc. How do you maintain it so it doesn't swarm too? \nShe may also update us on the State Fair\, the Heartland Apicultural Society (HAS) and other state and local events. \nJUNE RAFFLE! We have quite a raffle happening at the June meeting. Jeff Montag has donated a nuc of bees valued at $175. We also have a FULL Langstroth hive with supers and frames. There is also a plethora of other equipment and tools. $5 for one chance\, $10 for 3 chances. See you there\, and good luck!

SUMMARY:SIBA General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our goal for the May cut-out topic and workshop is to show what is involved to get more beekeepers capable of doing cut-outs. The need is high and there are not enough beekeepers who do cut-outs to help us deal with the influx of calls we get from homeowners\, and local authorities each year. \nMike Bentz will lead the discussion\, show some techniques\, and talk about the typical equipment used. Bring your questions! \nOn Saturday May 20th\, join us at Les Johnson's historic house in Aurora\, IN while John Lewis and Jason Morgan demonstrate how to cut bees out of a ceiling. This workshop will compliment the Thursday May 18 SIBA meeting. \nTake Rt 56 out of Aurora\, and turn right on to Hartford Pike\, then a quick right on Old SR 56. You'll see the house on the left up on the hill. \nMake sure you bring your veil\, gloves and any other protective gear. You are free to observe and ask questions... or even participate!
