I would like you to see my wife painting "Queen Bee" on Facebook Ela's Art and Design that will participate at the OSBA auction
Your presentation was perfect! Spot on! We can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge, experience, and bees with us! You created that powerpoint for us and that was a huge amount of work. Thank you!
Also perfect was the time you spent on general beekeeping practices and tricks. Most of the people at the meeting are content being beekeepers, not queen rearers. Your comment about everyone having a spare queen in the waiting is an idea that we definitely need to work on in 2023 and is very doable. As education director, I'm going to push this important aspect of backyard beekeeping.
We have an enthusiastic, ten person queen rearing team. By the end of the season we were becoming successful in the process. We'll study your slides and gather questions over the winter. As your time allows, we hope to pick your brain to take our queen rearing to a new level.
Thank you so much for being so supportive. Our deep appreciation to Mihaela for the magnificent painting. We enjoyed meeting your son and thank him also for his help setting up and cleaning up.
With gratitude.
