we learned a lot
about honey, the
different type of
honey, honey
production,
packaging and
labeling, and the
plants that bees get
nectar from to
make honey
then we had the big
snowstorm on 2 march -
...and then we had
that darn test...
...of course, there was the opportunity to earn a scholarship hive - go to page 4 for
more about that...

NOTICE FOR THE BEEKEEPERS CLASS!
We will start our last class March 9 at 6 pm
instead of 7.  We will cover the Disease and
Pest section, take a break and then give the
Certified Level exam and the Scholarship
exam.  We should be able to get out of there
by 9 or 9:30.  If anyone is not able to get
there until 7, it will not count against them.  
( We will not have a sign in sheet).

Since the Disease and Pest will be covered the
same night as the test, please study your
booklet page 29-37.  Be able to identify the
different diseases and pest.  Know the
appropriate treatments for each.  Know
which diseases are bacteria, virus, or fungus.  
Our booklet covers this information very
well.

Review the other areas of the booklet also.  I
know you all will do good on the test.  
When I took the class, everyone in the class
thought that the test was going to be the
following week (a miscommunication).  Most
of us had not reviewed a lot.
Everyone passed except for one person that
accidently skipped the back of a page.

Hope to see you next week.
Any question, please get in touch with Mary  
or Charlotte.
