Our first meeting of the year will be held on January 7, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Yakima County Resource Center, 2403 S. 18th Street, Union Gap. (More details will follow about the meeting.)
Below are some fun and exciting activities/information occurring with the Central WA Beekeepers’ Association!
Here are a few photos of the CWBA honey bee tree at the Yakima Valley Museum. December 21st is the last day to view the trees at the museum. They are quite pretty and unique!
Alex Wikstrom, owner of Wasp Away!, is looking for anyone interested in volunteering to survey bumble bee nest populations and behavior. Alex is interested in doing this throughout WA so I’m reaching out to all of you! Another volunteer opportunity would be educating the public about nest relocation options instead of killing bumblebee nests that are in an inconvenient area.
Please see the Relocation and Tagging plan below to learn more about the surveying, if you feel that you may be interested in volunteering for Alex.
