Monthly Meetings
Cedar Valley Membership Beekeepers meets regularly to share knowledge, talk through what's happening in our hives, and learn together.
Meeting Schedule
When: Second Thursday of every month at 6:30pm
Where: Cedar Valley Grange
What to Expect
Our meetings are informal and welcoming — drop in anytime, bring a question, leave with answers (and probably a few new ones). A typical meeting runs about 90 minutes and includes:
- Brief association business and announcements
- A featured presentation, workshop, or guest speaker
- Q&A and open discussion of what we're seeing in our hives right now
- Coffee, conversation, and the chance to meet other beekeepers in your area
Topics Through the Year
- Spring: Starter colonies, package bees, building up for the nectar flow
- Summer: Inspections, splits, queen rearing, honey extraction
- Fall: Mite treatments, winter prep, feed sugar vs. honey debate
- Winter: Equipment maintenance, planning, deeper-dive topics like queen genetics or business operations
