Events - Monthly Meetings
Please join us for our monthly meeting on January 16th 2025 at 7pm. This month our speaker will be Monica King who is a beekeeper from Tucson who is extremely experienced with Africanized bees and collecting swarms. She will be sharing tips and tricks that she’s learned over the years to help you collect swarms, do forced absconds, and better understand how to work with spicy bees. Come with all your questions and be ready to learn.
Our February meeting will be held on the 20th at 7pm and our speaker will be Talesa Jaramillo from the USDA. She will be informing us about programs available to help beekeepers recover from losses.
