The PSBA summer picnic will be held Saturday, July 22 at Fisher Bee Farm, located at 1 Queen Bee Lane, McVeytown. (The same location as the picnic was held last year). The event will be sponsored by the Philadelphia Beekeepers Guild. Main course and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided. Guests are asked to bring a side dish and dessert to share. Also, please bring a lawn chair. This is an alcohol friendly event and BYOB. The sponsor will also provide plating, cutlery and napkins. The location is right beside a nice creek that anyone is allowed to play in. They also have a small zoo for anyone wishing to see live animals. The only organized activity is breaking bread with fellow beekeepers. The Executive Board will meet at 10:00 a.m. with lunch to follow at 12:30 p.m. All clubs are encouraged to send a representative. Make a queen swap from your really great colony. A queen swap will take place among anyone that wishes to share that great genetics. It would be helpful if you registered, so that we know how many people will attend the event. It’s not necessary to register to come, but it would help us out. Please click the link below to register:
