🐝 Extractor Rental Update

The Board is finalizing an updated extractor rental policy to help protect and properly maintain this valuable club resource. Members interested in renting the extractor at the discounted member rate are encouraged to attend this meeting, where we will review proper operation, cleaning procedures, transportation, and care of the equipment.

Final rental guidelines and any requirements will be shared after Board approval.

🍯 Help Build Our First WCOBA Honey Recipe Collection!

Do you have a favorite recipe featuring honey? We’d love to include recipes from our members! Send us your recipe before the meeting with:

• Recipe name

• Ingredients

• Directions

• Your name (optional, if you’d like to be credited)

We’ll compile these into a collection for members to enjoy.

You’re also welcome to bring a favorite Product of the Hive to share—such as beeswax candles, soaps, lotions, mead, propolis products, or other creations—to inspire fellow members and showcase the many ways we use the gifts from our bees.
