President's CornerJune is off to a roller coaster of weather, sometimes hot but then those cool to cold nights. The bees are really pulling in the nector. We should have a good honey crop this year. Swarming is an issue right now. Room in the brood chamber if limited will send the queen packing and set back your honey collection. Keeping an eye on space available in the brood boxes is a must now. Dann Purvis will teach us how to raise our own queens on a small scale for our June meeting. Sunday will be in the bee yard for hands-on and Monday will be in the meeting room as usual. Bring your veil on Sunday and the club will provide a light lunch. Check the calendar page of the website for more information. July is just around the corner and time to be thinking of your fair entries. Cut comb boxes should be on and lots of honey supers. If you are going to enter different color honey, be sure to pull and extract at the right time! Let's fill the cabinet to the brim this year. See you at the meeting. Peggy Garnes,
