Honey Extraction Day at Chehaw:

Open to all club members. Come join us this Saturday July 18th at Chehaw Park to extract honey from the SOWEGA Beekeepers Club apiary. We will meet at the apiary between 8:30-8:45am Saturday morning in order to get started at 9am.

Once we have extracted honey frames from the hives in the apiary we will proceed over to the pavilion located in the campground. We will then demonstrate different methods of extracting honey.

Please bring water and electrolyte drinks to ensure you stay hydrated.

Had the opportunity on behalf of SOWEGA Beekeepers Club to present to an extremely wonderful group of ladies at the Albany Woman's Club. The presentation included an overview of SOWEGA Beekeepers Club, introduction to honeybees, the importance of native pollinators and the challenges they face. We also discussed strategies homeowners can implement to provide better resources in their yards and gardens year round for all pollinators.
