The morning session which will b e from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon will focus mainly on heritage and sustainab le beekeeping practices. A significant aspect of CPBA’s mission is to he lp further communication and understanding between Colorado’s beekeepers and the larger agricultural community.\n\nSpeakers from the Colorado Depa rtment of Agriculture\, Colorado State University and members of the Bould er County Parks &\; Open Space Department will be on hand to chat and answer questions. CPBA President Lyle Johnston will give an update on cond itions affecting almonds and commercial beekeeping.\nNoon\nAt noon we will break for lunch which will be catered by nearby KT’s BBQ with all the fixing’s – and is included in the price of admission (alcoholic bever ages not allowed at this venue). This will also be a Zero Waste event (mea ning that we have to clean-up and recycle any trash generated beyond the l unch service. Clean-up volunteers welcomed).\n\nAn auction will be held sh ortly after lunch to help raise funds for the CPBA treasury (The CPBA oper ates on donations and proceeds from meetings like this\, rather than dues BTW).\n\nAfter lunch\, attendees will have the opportunity to tour the adj acent Rock Creek Heritage Farm and visit with its current operator Scott M iller. Scott is the 5th generation of Millers farming at Rock Creek and is also a beekeeper. He has a dozen or so hives on the farm and also leases bees from Lyle’s brother for pumpkin pollination.\nAfternoon\nThe balanc e of the afternoon (until around 5:00 p.m.) will be open to attendees visi ting with our speakers informally and among ourselves. Older\, more experi enced beekeepers are encouraged to visit and share with our newer beekeepi ng members.  A practical demonstration of applying Mite Away Quick Strips may be done on the screened porch of the Farmhouse. Fishing is also avai lable at nearby Stearns Lake\, a 10 minute drive from the Farmhouse (fishi ng license required).\n\nThis meeting promises to be a great opportunity f or renewing old beekeeping ties and friendships – and to share with othe r beekeepers. This will also be an  opportunity for developing good worki ng relationships with the farmers\, growers and regulators that we as beek eepers are so interdependent on in maintaining sustainable practices.  We look forward to this meeting providing updates on successful beekeeping p ractices within an atmosphere of comradery and friendship.
