Pre-Kindergarten Bee Talk

Today Byron Miller and I (Erin Mullins) went to Horace Mann Lab School in Maryville and talked with the kids about bees and beekeeping. One of the moms baked biscuits so that the kids could try the honey and I think most liked it. It was lots of fun and I think the kids and teachers enjoyed it a lot.

 

Here are some of the pictures from today.

 

 

New Meeting Location for May Meeting

This is the email from Dorene our Secretary:

UPDATE:

Our last meeting was rather full and we would like to see if we can get some extra members to show up so we are going to try holding it at the Vo-Tech building in Maryville (the south end of  the high school) again on May 13, (the second Monday of the month).

I will send out a reminder e-mail when the date gets closer but just thought I would update the location!

Thanks!

Dorene
