  SCBA General Meeting

  March 9, 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

  Location: Druid Hall - 1011 College Ave, Santa Rosa

  Join us for our first in person meeting of the year! 

  We are excited to have Randy Oliver join us for our March General Meeting!  Randy will be talking to us about the Concepts of Varroa Management - understanding the biology of the mite, selective breeding for resistance, management strategies, and organic miticides.

  We will learn a lot from Randy as he talks about his research and experiences with Varroa.

  SCBA's pre-meeting education series, starting at 4:30 with Christine Kurtz, is back. Christine will be talking about Hive Biology - why some colonies survive winter, while others do not, the biology behind the swarm, and different scenarios of what is going on in the colony.

  Gardening for Bees will be hosting their first plant sale of the year with beautiful plants the pollinators will love!

  About Randy Oliver:

  Randy Oliver's journey into beekeeping began in the mid-1960s, and he has since become a prominent figure in the field.   

  He holds degrees in Biological Sciences, specializing in entomology, 

  and has been involved in beekeeping for over 40 years. Oliver's 

  work has been instrumental in developing practical solutions to 

  beekeeping challenges, such as managing varroa mite infestations 

  and improving colony health. His contributions extend beyond his 

  own operations, as he shares his knowledge and research through his website, Scientific Beekeeping, 

  and his speaking engagements worldwide.  Oliver's dedication to 

  beekeeping and his commitment to providing accurate and practical 

  information to beekeepers have made him a respected voice in 

  the industry.
