LBB Meeting June 2014

The Lackawanna Backyard Beekeepers will meet on Thursday, June 19th, 6:30pm, at the Abington Community Library.  We will open with roundtable discussion and then show a Brushy Mountain training video titled "Requeening and Colony Division." We have a number of beeks now scrambling for queens. A lot of breeders are sold out now, so it's hit and miss on acquiring one the easy way, but we will strive to have some supplier info on hand as well.
