Arrive an hour early this meeting, 5:30pm! We'll be running mite washes in several hives. We'll have 2 or 3 mite "teams" each with a knowledgable mite-washing leader demonstrating how to do it. Those interested in coming to watch, and/or participate are encouraged to come. Bring your veils and any other protective gear that you use. Full instruction will be provided. See you there...

Kathleen Prough, the Indiana state apiarist will handle the topic this month. She'll be talking about on how and when a beekeeper will need to get a prescription from a veterinarian for Terramycin. She'll also cover EFB, AFB and Parasitic mite syndrome and using Terramycin for these.

If you are an Indiana Beekeeper, you should know Kathleen Prough. She is your state apiarist providing a wealth of information. We always appreciate Kathleen coming down between her busy schedule!
