October Meeting – Nutrition – Pollen patties – is research being done on the protein in the pollen patties. Bob Liptrot to discuss nutrition. Bill will contact Paul van Westendorp.

November meeting is the Pot luck snacks and possibly have a movie night – Honeyland (1 hour 20 minutes).

Outyard – need to look for new space as the area is maturing.
There is new clear cut up the road, Brad to contact Queesto to see if the yard can be moved. Do we need a lottery for space. Limit the number of hives per person, possibly to 3 per family members. A motion to limit the hives to 3 per membership to go the outyards was made by Don Lambert, seconded by Carolyn Hissen. Carried.

Irene T informed the executive that a donated jar of honey for the tasting station at the Saanich Fair was stolen and someone had opened one of the entries and took honey out of it. The suggestion was made that when the judges are through judging a safety strip should be attached to all the jars entered in the Fair. Also a recommendation was made that have some sort of barrier to stop visitors getting to the entries. (A touching table should be provided for the viewers).

Meeting adjourned at 8:30pm.
