The monthly NOPBA meeting is Sunday, March 12 at noon in the PA Library. That’s just hours after the change to daylight saving time (so your clocks might still show 11…) Mark Urnes will be unable to make it but Greg Butler will moderate and “present a lesson in honeybee anatomy,” says Mark.

Also:

- annual dues are still being accepted via the website or directly to our P.O. box

- mentors and mentees can let Mark know if they are interested in participating in that program

- the swarm list is open. To be included, you should be a paid-up member and agree to serve in some capacity during the year (work a shift at the fair or lavender festival, host a club visit, give a presentation)

- Jill at Sunny Farms just called and they have been provided with another 100 packages. Cost is $179.00 and delivery is 3rd or 4th Saturday in April.
