Our progressive Apiary Tour was a wonderful success. Thanks so much to the hosts, Debra and George, Moira and Dave, and Marianne. Your hives looked wonderful, your bees were hospitable and it was so great to have so many members and new members in attendance. The refreshments were delightful too, it was such a hot day. Here are some photos of the day:

This is Andrew Chen our youngest new member, learning how to hold a frame of bees. Good job Andrew!


Some of Moira and Dave’s hives. It was quite warm, so they were hanging out to cool off.


These are Debra and George’s Hives. The English Garden Roofs are really pretty.


Marianne demonstrates her smoking technique!

You can see more photos on our 2009 Hive Tour Photo Album.

Don’t forget that September is Honey Month. Here is a great link to send a “Honey of an e-card” to all of your friends: http://www.123greetings.com/createcard?103118
