August Meeting
I would like to take this opportunity to THANK everyone that contributed to our July meeting.
We have been harvesting our Spring crop this past week. At this time it looks great. Probably will be our largest spring harvest. We'll know more after it's finished.
Hopefully, the rain will continue and we'll have a great summer harvest.
The news of the Cotton producers oil mill going to set up for Canola oil and Oil sunflowers is GREAT.
If local farmers take advantage of this it could change beekeeping in Oklahoma.
Both of these crops make Honey and could be very beneficial to OK beekeepers.
Canola blooms from March 15 to April 20th. Sunflowers are later on in the summer depending on when they plant it. Both make very substantial amounts of Honey.
Sunflowers NEED pollinating. Canola does better with but a crop can be made without Honey Bees.
See ya at our next meeting Aug.28. 7 to 9 pm @ the OSU extension center auditorium NW 10th and Portland St.
