General Meeting (May 2025)

The Capital Regional Beekeepers Association (CRBA) meets on the second Thursday of every month. This meeting usually starts with a beginners/intermediate beekeeper corner 30 minutes before the regular club proceedings start around 7pm.

Agenda

• There will be no separate Beginners’ and Intermediates’ Corners this month
• 6:30 Full meeting upstairs
• Swarms and splits – Don L
• Outyard update – Janet F
  There is a planned work party for the JAM yards June 8th. If you wish to participate, contact our Outyard Manager, Janet Fontaine, at outyards@capitalregionbeekeepers.ca. Through their work equity, participants will be guaranteed three spots in any of the outyards; if demand exceeds available space in either the work party or outyards, spots will be determined by lottery.
• Hive Survival Survey Results – Katrina J
• Demaree Method of Swarm Control (If time) – Bill C
• Club Business
  • Motion to return annual dues to $32. A vote at the last meeting raised the annual dues to $35 but a question was raised about necessity. Further evaluation of our finances shows that we can keep the dues at $32. A change of dues requires a vote of the membership.
  • Insurance for the outyards
