At our Monday, November 10th meeting, MABA will welcome Master Beekeeper Steve Esau. Steve began beekeeping in 2011 with two hives and the intent of making his East Atlanta neighborhood a better place through urban agriculture. Those two hives quickly grew into what is today known as the Little Bee Project. Consisting of more than 100 colonies, the Little Bee Project is hardly little. Steve will share with us his journey to becoming a sideliner honey producer.
Our November meeting will begin at 6:30 pm with a mentoring session. This month’s session is our annual Ask-Me-Anything style panel Q&A with some of MABA’s most experienced members. So come prepared with the beekeeping questions you’d like answers to!
Our meetings are held at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church in third-floor classroom C302 on the 2nd Monday of each month,except September and December when we hold our annual fall honey show/pot luck and holiday party respectively.
Meetings begin with a mentoring session at 6:30 p.m., followed by a featured speaker at 7 p.m. Topics range from the latest findings in honey bee research to hive management, honey, beeswax, and other hive products.
On arrival, check-in at the welcome table to be entered into our monthly door prize drawing. Enjoy snacks and fellowship in the back of the room. Membership is not required.
Everyone interested in honey bees is welcome!
