Each month at our Club meeting, we have one or two speakers covering many different subjects. We have a segment called "What's happening in your hives now" so that members know what their bees will be doing in the month ahead. Each meeting the club provides a light supper with tea and coffee for our members, visitors and guests. The Club Library is open with books, magazines and DVD available. Q&A sessions.
