Please join us for the September HCBA meeting on September 3 at 6:00 pm at the Jefferson Community Center in Eureka.

This month’s meeting will feature a casual round-table discussion starring you: the Humboldt County beekeeper. Bring your questions, successes, challenges, and ideas for a lively conversation with fellow beekeepers.  New beekeepers are especially welcome!

Topics may include:

We are just one month away from our Honey Tasting Festival Fundraiser on September 26! There are still opportunities to help out: please contact Danielle at 510-385-8858 if you’re available. If you have items to donate to the silent auction, please bring them to the September 3 meeting or arrange a time to get them to Danielle or Cheryl.

As part of the fundraiser, we are looking for honey donations for our first ever “honey pull.”Please consider donating one or more jars of honey, between 4 and 20 ounces, from your own bees or another apiary. Donated jars will be placed in mystery honey bags, which guests can purchase for $10 as part of the fundraiser. This will be a fun new addition to the honey sales table at the Honey Tasting event.

If you’d like to donate for the honey pull, please bring jars of honey to Rebecca at the September 3 meeting. We’ll also discuss honey sale labeling requirements and the types of honey samples that we are seeking for the tasting.
