The OBA is going to make a bulk jar order. This is for jars for packaging the honey we will sell at the Thurston County Fair and other outreach events.
We are giving members the ability to add to this order, thus helping us get lower bulk pricing.
Shipping will be split between orders based on the number of jars you order. This is the one variable we cannot tell you before the order is placed.
If you are interested, and by this I mean you are committed to paying for the jars you request plus the portion of shipping, please fill out this Google Form.
We will close the order window a week after the May Member Meeting.
Andy Matelich has a last minute deal on 10 frame deep “NUCs”. Pickup is in the Olympia area;
“Many of you know me from the Olympia club. If anyone still wants bees, I was able to contact a friend of mine in California who has a small commercial operation. With the wet spring they have had this year he is behind in making splits and he has a surplus of hives, and he wants to sell them. What he is selling will be a 10-frame hive with an overwintered queen ready for a second deep. He is offering these bees for $200.00 each and they will be arriving this weekend. Getting a 10-frame hive instead of a nuc will give you an even better chance for larger honey yield. Supplies will be somewhat limited. If anyone is interested, please feel free to contact me at 253-683-0789. “
If you missed the April Meeting it was Jim Jones, who presented “Melipona Beecheii
Ko’olel Kaab”, or basically the Native Mayan Beekeeping of the Yacutan Peninsula.
Here is a link to the slideshow.
We are planning on another Apprenticeship Class, probably on Sundays towards the end of April, and in person. If you are interested please fill out this waiting list form.
