From the webmasterWell, the website is finally updated. My apologies for the long delay. Unfortunately, part of the problem was related to a security breach we had with our webserver. You can read more about it here. No data was at risk (we don't keep any member records online) but the nature of the content was a bit worrying. We're back up and running now, though. So here are a couple of things that have built up over time.
At last month's meeting, we collected the harvest report, the annual compilation of data to see how the harvest varies around the county and our tracking of how the harvest is changing over time. 2009 was a less-than-satisfactory year for most beekeepers in the county. The weather in spring was very promising but the summer and fall harvest was very poor in our area. More analysis is in this month's newsletter. Click the chart at right for a larger view of the consolidated history of our harvest over time or you can look at the detailed charts by quadrant here. In other news, the Beginner Beekeeper class is being offered twice this year. See the newsletter for details and the calendar for the dates, times and the specific content to be covered in each class. Several people started recording their own beeyard reports in the discussion forums this year. If you haven't yet, please consider creating an account and sharing your story, too. Create your account now and you'll be able to start the new year fresh. If you like, you can watchlist the discussion forums for email alerts about new comments and questions. That's all for now. There's been some new research on CCD being discussed on BEE-L but we'll save that for next month. I'll do my best to keep the website more current. Thanks for your patience. See you all at the Holiday party. |
