SUMMARY:SIBA Monthly Meeting - Candy Boards!
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Montag will lead a timely roundtable discussion and demonstration on candy boards. \nWe love them as SIBA! They provide extra food stores\, they wick moisture\, and provide an escape for too much condensation. \nThey also can provide an upper entrance to use during the winter defecating flights in the event the lower entrance is blocked by snow\, debris or dead bees. \nCandy boards lend a bit of extra assurance in many areas. Are you interested? Then\, we'll see you Thursday!! \nIf you've missed a previous newsletter\, find them all archived here. \nSIBA Meetings occur the 3rd Thursday of each month through the year with topics being added to the event ahead of each meeting.

SUMMARY:SIBA Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Jason Morgan and Jeff Ginn will be demonstrating the alcohol wash to get an accurate mite count in your colonies. Bring your veil and a chair if you like. Anyone is welcome to come up as close as they like and look in the hive\, ask questions\, etc. This demonstration is for YOU. We believe that the alcohol wash and measuring your mite numbers is the single most important thing you can do with your hives. By keeping the mites in check\, you are proactively preventing\, disease\, sickness\, failing colonies\, poor performance and other mysterious hive ailments. \nAfter the demonstration\, we'll move inside where Jeff Montag will lead a roundtable discussion. There will be an opportunity to also ask any questions about the alcohol wash performed outside. We hope to see you there and bring your questions! \nIf you've missed a previous newsletter\, find them all archived here. \nSIBA Meetings occur the 3rd Thursday of each month through the year with topics being added to the event ahead of each meeting.

SUMMARY:SIBA Monthly Meeting - Dave Broxterman
DESCRIPTION:Dave Broxterman will lead a discussion around his method of overwintering nucs.

SUMMARY:SIBA Monthly Meeting - Jerry Hayes
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: THE TALK IS FREE\, BUT RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED!\nAttendance is expected to be high!  Anyone choosing to eat\, will have two meal options that must be pre-ordered and paid in advance no later than June 5th. Use the form at the bottom of this page! \nJerry Hayes\, editor at Bee Culture Magazine\, will be discussing the all-important topic of mite measurement and mitigation. This one is not to be missed\, especially by newer beekeepers. We at SIBA push the importance of mite management pretty hard... maybe so much that it makes newer beekeepers heads spin. The fact is\, the best thing a beekeeper can do is put proper priority on colony health... which entails actively measuring and managing mites and the sicknesses they vector. Jerry will put proper perspective on the topic and answer your questions. Tell your friends! \nBiography\nJerry Hayes started out in life as a High School teacher. He hated it. He went into another business where he worked with a beekeeper. Back many years ago Jerry knew about Honey Bees but nobody actually knew a ‘Beekeeper’\, did they? Jerry asked him questions\, picked his brain\, became more interested and fascinated and started reading everything he could get his hands on about Honey Bees. He turned into the consummate backyard beekeeper. He did all the fun and crazy things backyard beekeepers do and built and experimented with. He wondered if he could get into the Beekeeping world and support a young family. So\, with the support of his family he went back to school under the tutelage of Dr. Jim Tew\, at The Ohio State University. “Top 10 Best thing I ever did\,” Jerry said. \nYears later he looks back on his opportunities as a Research Technician at the USDA/ARS Baton Rouge Bee Lab\, Dadant and Sons Regional Mgr.\, Dadant And Sons New Product Dev.\, and AR Mgr.\, Chief of the Apiary Section for the Florida Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services\, Monsanto Honey Bee Lead\, VP. of Vita Bee health North America and now Editor of Bee Culture magazine with awe and amazement. \nAdd to the above the Classroom Q&A Column of the American Bee Journal for almost 40 years\, the ‘Classroom’ Book\, Author or Co-Author on 23 research papers and a variety of Honey Bee related articles in a variety of publications. Plus\, Past President of Apiary Inspectors of America\, Heartland Apiculture Assoc.\, Colony Collapse Working Group\, CAPS Science Advisor\, PAm Science Advisor\, AHPA Science Advisor and many Professional Presentations internationally and media opportunities. And Now Editor of Bee Culture magazine. It has been a Great Journey.

SUMMARY:SIBA Monthly Meeting - Meadmaking
DESCRIPTION:Post meeting: Download the Meadmaking 101 slide deck \nMany of you know our club librarian Don Burkart. He has been a VERY successful first\, and second-year beekeeper. What you may not know is that Don is a super-talented winemaker. I couldn't be more thrilled. If you have ever thought about taking up wine or mead-making\, this is absolutely not a session to miss! \n"Like Zeus\, the god Dionysus was raised in a cave and fed on honey. Today he is viewed as the god of wine\, but his worship came earlier than wine\, from the time when mead was the major alcoholic beverage." \nDon has been making wine for over 20 years\, and will be sharing a few of his tips and tricks on how to produce mead from honey\, an alcoholic drink similar to wine. He will be taking us through step-by-step instructions on the process and will cover some terminology\, hardware\, and ingredients you will need to make your own 'nectar of the gods'. \nIf you've missed a previous newsletter\, find them all archived here. \nSIBA Meetings occur the 3rd Thursday of each month through the year with topics being added to the event ahead of each meeting. Meetings are held at 6:30pm at the Sunman American Legion unless otherwise stated ahead of time in the newsletter and website. We're also looking for volunteers to help make the club GO.

SUMMARY:SIBA Monthly Meeting - Candy Boards
DESCRIPTION:Duane Bischoff will emcee the meeting while Dave Broxterman demonstrates and discusses the all-valuable candy board. If your hives are light on honey going into the winter\, the candy board is your friend. We see the candy board as sort of a cheap insurance policy. Let's consider some benefits: \n\nIf the bees deplete all the honey stores\, they hit the candy board and this may help feed them for the remainder of the winter\, or at least until you look in the hive again.\nCondensation is a big concern in the hive. Cold air outside and warm bees inside make moisture. This moisture can collect on the top of the hive. The candy board will absorb most\, if not all the moisture into the sugar and likely keep it from dropping back down on to the cluster. Wet bees will die.\nThere is also a hole that passes up through the candy board and a 5/8 inch hole is drilled through the front. See the pictures and the video. Not only does this provide an upper entrance (in the event dead bees clog the lower entrance over the winter)\, it also allows warm humid air from inside the hive to exit out this hole to prevent condensation in the hive.\n\nBefore the meeting\, here's some more info\, and a video on candy boards. Take a look and bring your questions to the meeting. Let's get ready to "candy up" and overwinter some bees! \nIf you've missed a previous newsletter\, find them all archived here. \nSIBA Meetings occur the 3rd Thursday of each month through the year with topics being added to the event ahead of each meeting.
