[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] SUCCESSFUL OGEECHEE AREA BEEKEEPERS FIELD DAY SATURDAY 27 July The OA Beekeepers held a field day at Honey Toast, Sylvania Ga The club and guests met and were quickly immersed into a hands on hive inspection guided by Anthony Stewart and Millie Reeves. Frames that were full were harvested and replaced with comb that had been recently extracted. Millie Reeves walked everyone through a Mite Check using the Sugar Shake method and found 1 mite, the hive this was performed on was a swarm catch from May of this year and this was the first check. The group then added a super to the checked box and then split another swarm box into two nucleus boxes. The Top Bar Hive Hives that Honey Toast Farms use for comb production were demonstrated, opened and everyone was able to experience a different type of setup. After a quick lunch a raffle was held and one of the Nucleus boxes split was given as a prize. Thank you to Alan and Anthony Stewart (and the rest of the Stewart family) for hosting the event!

Welcome to our Beekeeping page. This is our ninth year in Statesboro and our purpose is to share knowledge of beekeeping, for people that have an interest in bees, wanting to try beekeeping or have a hive or two or more. Our club is a member of the Georgia Beekeepers Association, one of the oldest bee organizations in the United States. We encourage you to join us and participate in the many programs, and conferences. Sharing and being mentors for new beekeepers is the greatest feature of attending our meetings. The club invites speakers with various that offer insight and shared knowledge to the beginning and experienced. We invite you to attend our meetings and explore beekeeping.
Club activities include field trips to local beekeepers, participation in the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair in Statesboro, a Christmas dinner and other events. Our members attend the state beekeeping conference, other bee clubs and demonstrations at some of our local schools.
We encourage you to attend our meeting and become a member. A raffle is held at all meetings with proceeds deposited into the club bank account. Raffle tickets are $1.00, raffle items are bee or garden related donated by our members. Donators receive a free ticket per item. We invite you to become a member, we offer individual and family memberships. Membership in the club is less than you will pay for a new beekeeping book and we welcome you to attend one of our meetings, held the last Thursday of every month. We do not meet in November and December to allow you family time at the holidays. You can meet fellow beekeepers, compare experiences, ask questions and be a part of the "hive." Just like in a beehive, it isn't the work of the one, but the work of the many that make a successful place to call home. There are other nearby clubs that meet monthly on different nights, presenting different topics and one may be closer to you that Statesboro. Visit the Georgia Beekeepers Association to find the club nearest you.
