Richland Area Beekeepers Association (RABA) meetings are held the 3rd Tuesday of every month (excluding December and January) at 7:00 PM. Most meetings are held at Longview Center, 1497 Longview Ave, Mansfield, OH. Members and guests welcome. Arrive early for the Beginners’ Half Hour from 6:30 PM to 7:00 PM to have your questions answered by experienced beekeepers or share your beekeeping knowledge with others.
If you missed last night’s RABA meeting, you missed a lot. There were several good questions asked during the Beginners’ Q&A session, committee reports regarding the Kingwood and Malabar hives, committee sign-up sheets, mentor lists, meeting presentation topic ideas, officer and director elections, and an information-packed presentation by Doug Stanton covering the most common reasons of hive failure. My fingers were flying as I typed up notes to add to my beekeeping research library! 🙂 I’ll email Doug and ask him if we can share his presentation with the group via this website. Watch for an upcoming post.
