It was absolutely wonderful to see so many new faces.

​Our in-hive portion was quick but a lot of fun! With the storm clouds rolling across the Eastern Shore, we knew the bees wouldn't want us in there for long. (Fun fact: Bees can sense dropping barometric pressure and often get a bit defensive before bad weather, so keeping inspections brief is always best practice!).

Thank you to everyone who joined us for last night’s LESBA meeting!

​It was wonderful to catch up with familiar faces and welcome a few new members to the club!

​We were treated to an incredibly in-depth presentation on honey bee biology, specifically focusing on the function of "fat bodies" and Vitellogenin. We then rounded out the evening with a great group discussion on swarm control and utilizing brood breaks right before the main nectar flow.

​Thank you to our speaker Crystal for her expertise and to everyone who brought their questions and experiences to the table!
