April Minutes

Nw Missouri Beebusters met April 8 at 7 p.m. with a few people arriving later. Many things concerning bees were talked about, with Betty Grace also announcing she should have wildflowers for sale starting June 1. Betty also gave out contact information for a very nice color catalog for the Missouri Wildflowers Nursery:

Missouri Wildflowers Nursery
9814 Pleasant Hill Rd.
Jefferson City, MO

They offer their full color catalog free if contacted. It makes a wonderful resource for identifying flowers.

In other news, Keith has managed to successfully step down from the presidential role into a more behind the scenes one, and we are fortunate enough that Ed Wohlford is willing to step in and lead the club. Keith has had three wonderful years as president and we are sorry to see him go but look forward to supporting Ed in his new position. 

Sincerely, 
Dorene Claybaker 
Secretary/Nw Missouri Beebusters

April Meeting Update

There will be a meeting on April 8th at 7 :00 pm at the county building in Maryville.
Hope to see you there.
At that time I will be resigning as president and you can decide from there where and when you want to have meeting.
I just feel it is time for someone else to be president of the club and get some new ideals, the longer I am involved with beekeeping I find that I really do not know how to keep honey bees alive. I have read a lot of books, magazines, took class's and still cannot seem to get a handle on how to keep from losing a third of my bees every year.
I have enjoyed it and I really have learned a lot from all of you.
Happy Beekeeping
Keith
