Our November 14th 6:30 Meeting will be a Potluck Holiday meeting. Please bring a dish to share. We will also be doing BINGO. If you choose to participate, bring a gift (wrapped if you wish) for BINGO. If you do bring something wrapped, you might want to put a tag on it identifying if it’s for an adult or child. This is a family event.
Join us at the Miley Barn – Nourish Farm. Our meetings are on the 2nd Tuesday of the month – March thru November. We meet at 6:30 PM and all are welcome!

After much discussion, the SCBA wants the public to know that the “organization was founded for all beekeepers in or near Sheboygan County, for the purpose of educating ourselves and prospective members, that we may better control our colonies and our environment to help and educate people about the wonders of the honey bee”. We do not assist with other vespids (wasps, hornets, bumblebees) from unwanted locations. Please visit our BEE ID page to assist with identification. http://sheboyganbees.org/scba/bee-id/
Also, please be aware that the relocation of honey bees is not possible in late summer and fall. Honey bees need time to build up their honey stores for winter. There just isn’t enough time to move them and have them make enough honey, and they will die during winter.
Members share their expertise, experience, and promote the hobby of beekeeping throughout the east-central Wisconsin area.
To Promote the livelihood of the many wonders of Mother Nature … bees.
