The next meeting of the WCBA will be held Saturday, September 22th at 1:00 PM at the COA building, 811 Madison Avenue, Spencer.

Saturday, visitors were treated to a wide variety of bee-oriented products, including tasty treats made with honey. State apiarist Wade Stiltner was the guest speaker, answering all questions posed by the audience. Eric Grandon, of Sugar Bottom Farm, had all the woodwork required to build a complete apiary.

The WCBA also ran several videos instructing the viewers on different aspects of beekeeping. Dozens of door prizes were given out and a Lasgana dinner was offered at the end of the day.
