Meeting Topic: Managing Honey with Charles Fleming
A little about Charles:
I was born and grew up in Lillington, NC. I started hobby beekeeping in 2010 when the Harnett County Beekeepers Association offered its first beginner course. I reside in Western Harnett area with my wife and children, keeping the majority of my colonies at home but have a few satellite bee yards to help local farmers with pollination, such as strawberries in the Spring and pumpkins in late Summer. I enjoy meeting beekeepers, new and old, and sharing my beekeeping experiences with others in hopes we all learn a little more about honeybees and the interesting art of beekeeping.

**NEEDED for Bee Jubilee!: Year of Honey raffle honey/ products of the hive. If you have any items to donate, please bring to the meeting. It's fine if the honey is crystallized. We can fix that!
