SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:We're changing it up this meeting. Have you developed a tool or method\, or something that makes beekeeping better or more efficient for you? If so\, bring it to the meeting and tell us about it. We'll have some tables set up to walk around and see what others are doing. We think this will get people talking and thinking about ways to improve their beekeeping the next season. \nPictured above is Dave Broxtermans' nuc-top OA vaporizer. Come see how it works at the November SIBA meeting! Hope to see everyone there!

SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:If you have been in beekeeping for very long you will find that much of it is redundant: wash\, rinse repeat.  You then look for little hints\, tips\, and tricks to look at your bees in new ways.  Join us at the October meeting where our guest speaker (Alexander Zomchek\, Miami University) will take a quick glance over our seasonal shoulders; square the here and now; and make suggestions for the next 30-45 days that will help to fortify your bees as well as prepping hives for fall into winter. \nThis is the last seasonal hurrah and you want to take advantage of it.  Continuing with his Monitoring Approach (originator of the Apiary Diagnostic Kit-ADK) Alex will also introduce some gadgetry as well as demo his new "hive smock" to aide in thorough and enlightening bee inspections. \nAlex Zomchek: Bee-Bio\nBeekeeping is a lifelong passion for Alex with him building his own hives at the age of 10. He began his professional career bringing his interests in mathematics/computer modeling interests to medical research helping him to invent the field of teleradiography (digital body imaging and transmission). \nWith the introduction of varroa mites Alex turned his attention to honey bee research which he conducts out of Miami University’s Ecology Research Center located in Oxford\, OH (home of Larenzo Langstroth – inventor of the modern beehive). He currently divides his time between developing tools and techniques to improve honey bee stock. Current research ranges from better open mating models to closed systems models using instrumental insemination and cryogenic germplasm. \nHe is equally interested in creating monitoring materials and educating beekeepers (e.g. he is the originator of the Apiary Diagnostic Kit used by the Ohio State Beekeepers Association). He runs a string of “latitude” beelabs from Florida to northern Wisconsin to accelerate honeybee lines. Alex is a national speaker bringing his love of science and bees to the public leaving most audience members wanting to become citizen scientists as he will freeze or burn something in a presentation given half a chance and fire codes permitting. \nHe is currently the President of the Butler County Beekeepers Association and is a Director for the Ohio State Beekeepers Association which has awarded him the title Master Beekeeper - Instructor. He also just received the North America’s Develbiss Award for outstanding contributions to honey bee education and research. \nFind out more about Alex here.

SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Preparing your hives for winter \nSummer is slipping away\, and we're easing into Fall. One might think that the beekeeping season is winding down\, but nothing could be further from the truth! Right now\, we're thinking about equipment that may need swapped out and brought in for repair. We're thinking about making candy boards. We're thinking about hive weight\, feeding regimens\, mouse guards\, and that potential surplus that is your Fall honey harvest! \nThe goldenrod flow is on so stinky hives are a good thing! Are your bees healthy and ready for winter? Join us in September as Dave Broxterman tells us how to prepare our hives for the winter!

SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Jason Morgan will be leading a presentation and discussion on mite mitigation miticides and treatment methods. When do you treat? How do you treat? Will you try to be as natural as possible\, or will you use synthetic treatments like Apivar? \nThere's a variety of treatments available on the market that can get expensive\, especially if you have many hives to treat. There are also options like formic and oxalic acids that are cheaper and less synthetic\, but still un-natural. If you are the proactive type\, you can use natural brood breaks and removal earlier in the season to knock mites back\, but is this enough? What is the threshold of bees to mites ratios? How does one test to see if they have mite overloads? \nThere are many options and even more questions. Bring your questions and let's talk about them at the August SIBA meeting.

SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Dwight Wells returns to provide an update on feral honey bee mite-chewing behaviors. He will bring several digital microscopes to the meeting to check mites SIBA members have collected from screen bottom board slides. So bring in some dead mites! \nMites can be collected from feral swarm colonies and other non-feral colonies for comparison of chewing percentages. \nPropagating the best genetics into our local bee population is the best thing we can do in our battle against varroa. Hygienic bees sense varroa and actively groom the mites of each other\, and even go as far as biting them. One bite causes a wound that the mite can't recover from and it will bleed to death. \nWe always like hearing from Dwight and the Purdue "ankle-biters."

SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Jim Orem returns to talk about feed and feeding. When should you feed\, and why? To build comb\, stimulate the queen and store honey\, the bees need a nectar flow. Without it\, they can't do much. \nThere are several schools of thoughts on feeding. On one hand\, sugar is artificial and the bees can't easily assimilate and digest it. On the other hand\, the dearthy seasons we see here in SE Indiana sometimes require it... and unless your apiary has something in bloom nearby\, your hives can plateau and see various problems. \nThere are several methods of feeding as well. Jim will bring several feeding devices\, but invites anyone who has a favorite feeder or system\, to bring it and be prepared to talk about a little about it. \nDon't forget\, Saturday June 22\, the Sat. following bee-meeting-Thursday\, we have the Weed Walk. This is a perfect opportunity to understand more of the plants that provide nectar to allow you to predict when it may be necessary to feed your bees due to a lack of forage in bloom. \nHope to see you in June!

SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Bring your veils for the first Spring meeting back at Garry's workshop. Jason Morgan will be demonstrating the alcohol wash to get an accurate count of mites in your beehive. If the weather cooperates\, we'll get in a hive or two and walk through the process of taking a sample of bees and testing them for mites. \nBroken down to its simplest form\, we want to get the number of mites per 100 bees. However\, instead of just taking 100 bees (one sample\,) we'll take 300 bees (three samples). A level half-cup measuring cup is approximately 300 bees. We'll show what you need\, and demonstrate the proper technique of swirling and washing the bees to make your test most accurate. \nBring your veils\, a notepad\, and your questions\, and see you there! \nSelecting the best brood frame to sample at Dave Rieman's last year. \nJason explaining the mite wash at a Sat. Field Day at Dave Rieman's last year. \n  \n

SUMMARY:SIBA Christmas Party
DESCRIPTION:The SIBA Christmas Party will be held on Sat. Dec. 8 at 6:30pm at Garry's Workshop. This is the second Saturday in December. We know that this is a popular weekend for company Christmas parties\, but It's the only Saturday that was available in December for the hosts to manage. \nPlease bring a dish (a main dish\, appetizer\, or dessert to share. If you are a wine or mead-maker\, bring along one of your latest to share. We'll have some small dixie cups to sample with. As in the past\, Jason will have a sample of wine\, cheese and cured meats to try. We've also seen some pretty creative desserts come from our membership at past Christmas parties. If you have some pickled\, or canned creations\, this is a time to share with others. \nThe primary goal of the Christmas party is to celebrate and reflect on the season\, both successes and failures... and talk about them with great company and some good food and drink. We're firming up some other details and will share them here as they become available. \nWe hope to see you there\, and Happy Holidays!

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. We'll update the topic here ahead of time. Stop back soon.

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:In the Apiary with Mel Disselkoen
DESCRIPTION:Mel Disselkoen will be joining us at Garry Reeves apiary for a Saturday field-day. Mel strives to identify the natural behaviors and seasonal reproductive cycles of the honeybee and then direct those behaviors toward a profitable objective. \n\n"Since honeybee behavior is naturally directed towards survival and increase\, beekeepers can adapt their management and business models to the honeybee's natural instincts so that stress is minimized and performance is optimized. By working within this philosophy of cooperating with nature\, I have found that the best bee is the bee that can overwinter in your area." \n-Mel Disselkoen \n\n\nHistory \nMel Disselkoen was born on a farm in a Dutch settlement in South Dakota. He grew up with an independent farming mentality of hard work and creative problem solving. He has kept bees for over 40 years and is familiar with all facets of beekeeping. Today Mel enjoys observing honeybee behavior and teaching beekeepers how to use his OTS queen rearing method to self-sufficiently reach their objectives. \nWe hope you'll join us as the field days we've had in the past with Mel were very informative.

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!
