There will be a "Meeting Before the Meeting" tonight. Club members will preform an autopsy on a hive that died out in January. This hive has not yet been opened so who knows what we'll find! This is immediately before the normal monthly club meeting and education session in the same location as the meeting. Please come and spend time with your fellow beekeepers or to meet some beekeepers.
