Our family-friendly summer picnic will begin at 11am on Saturday, July 19, 2025 at DelGrosso‘s Amusement Park in Tipton, PA. We will have a business meeting, show & tell, great food & drink, and a presentation about using oxalic acid based miticide VarroxSan. "What is VarroxSan? VarroxSan is a highly effective varroa control treatment, based on oxalic acid dihydrate in slow-release strips, ensuring correct dosage that covers at least three live cycles of the varroa mite. Oxalic acid is an organic compound, naturally found in many plants." The meeting is free to attend. If you want to participate in the picnic lunch, the cost for lunch is $5/person. PSBA is charging $10/person & refunding $5/person at the picnic. This is due to "no shows" in past free events where we provide food for people who responded they would attend, but then not attend. This amounts to a $10 penalty for no-shows.

Have you checked your Varroa mite levels yet? Do you have an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan? If so, it may include Apiguard, a thymol-based treatment, or VarroxSan, a long-acting oxalic acid strip. Both products are manufactured by Vita Bee Health, based in the UK.

The monthly meeting is a great opportunity to stay informed about club updates, hear discussions on various bee topics, and get guidance on what you should be doing with your bees each month. It’s also a chance to connect with fellow beekeepers, ask questions, and share experiences. Whether you‘re a beginner or seasoned beekeeper, there‘s always something useful to take away!

We are always looking for members to volunteer! You can present something to the club that you are doing with your bees or bee products or you can sign up to volunteer on one of our committees! We‘d love to have you!

In this presentation, Nicole will share some of her research, including including how bees create comb, from the deposition of wax scales to the final structure.The use of CT images allows Nicole to track the evolution of trapped air bubbles and changes in cell wall thickness over time. Her more recent work showcases how bees repair small holes in their comb structure. Nicole Balog is a PhD student at Purdue University in Indiana where she studies materials engineering, a field that delves into the fundamental properties of materials, including metals, ceramics, polymers and composites, to understand how to better use and improve them. She interned at NASA studying materials used in rocket ships before becoming interested in the engineering acumen of Apis mellifera.

in the past your organization has participated as part of our community organization vendors at our annual Country Fair. I hope you can make our 2025 Willistown Country Fair on Tuesday August 19 from 5:00 -7:30 pm at Greentree Park in Malvern (rain date is Thursday, August 21).

We have a few new faces on this email, so a quick run-down on the event: We celebrate the end of summer with a big Park Party with live music, food, face painting, balloon artists, and more along with community booths highlighting all you do to serve the Willistown and Malvern communities. You are welcome to attend the event and hand out swag, educational literature on your organization etc. We average around 350-400 participants – kids through adults.
