NWNJBA June Membership Meeting and Potluck
Bees stay in the hive when it rains. :) Stay safe and dry and we’ll see you at the fairs!
Warren and Hunterdon County Fairs
Please help out the NWNJBA by signing up for a time slot to volunteer at our beekeeping booth at one or both of our county fairs. You can help with selling honey, answering questions, working in the demonstration booth, and handing out brochures. You do NOT need to be an experienced beekeeper to volunteer! We will have long-time beekeepers available on all shifts to take the tough questions (the public’s and yours). You can get free entry to the fair!
If you have used the club’s resources (Managed Mentoring, honey extractor), you are requested to take at least one shift at one fair in exchange.
