The OKLAHOMA STATE FAIR
WE NEED YOU! If you are a member of the Noble Beekeepers Assn., Central Okla. Beekeepers Assn., or Frontier Country Beekeepers Assn. and have a few hours extra out of your busy schedule from Sept 10th thru Sept. 21st we DESPERATELY need you to volunteer and help us with our free booth in "Agtropulous" @ the state fair. Just e-mail me @ okbeekeeper@gmail.com and someone will get in touch with you ASAP.
ONE MORE THING. We need pictures that you have taken of your bees or of you working bees. Carol is going to put together a slide show for the fair. We can't guarantee we will use all of them. E-mail them to okbeekeeper@gmail.com. They must be digital for them to be in the slide show.
I think this is going to be the biggest thing that has been done to promote BEEKEEPING in Oklahoma for a very long time. The fair has been great and very giving in this endeavor. Let's Get-R-Done!
How are your bees doing? How HOT is it? I read an insert the other day that said when it gets over a hundred degrees that Honey Bees don't do much. I can guarantee you one thing when it gets over a hundred degrees I DON'T DO ANY THING! Most of the beekeepers I have talked to are just waiting for cooler weather to do anything. COOLER (Not as hot)
Most of us will be robbing or as my dad called it "COLLECTING RENT" in 3 or 4 weeks.
Don't forget to move the Queen down and put on Queen excluders 3 weeks ahead of time, so no brood is in your supers.
Our next meeting is August 26 @ the OSU Extension center @ NW10th & Portland in OKC, OK
SEE YA, Tom
