Tonight's meeting: Phil Stob presentation on bait hives

[Rob Mathews, ACBA Treasurer / Webmaster]

Hi Folks! Tonight's (Tuesday February 10) ACBA in-person meeting will be a presentation by Phil Stob on bait hives.

What makes an effective, practical swarm-trap in the East Bay? How can we save our neighbors the drama of dealing with swarms? How can we easily capture swarms from our own hives? How can we get free local bees?
Phil has the answers.

He's a Fremont beekeeper and 10+ year ACBA member who has had exceptional success luring colonies to his traps (75 in the last four years)! Phil gives most of his swarms to local beginner beekeepers.

Meeting agenda:

• 7:00 - 7:30: Social time and “newbee” round table — get your questions answered in a small, friendly group.
  
• 7:30 - 8:00: Club business.
  
• 8:00 - 9:00: Phil Stob explaining bait hives!
  

Directions and such are on the club website here. See you there!

Thanks to all who braved the rainy weather to show up.   A good time was had by all.  If you have any lingering questions, you can post them right here, and I'll do my best to answer them. 

Cheers, Phil
