Pest Management & Emerging Pest Threats

You’ve got your splits, swarms, nucs and packages all set up and installed… Now what?

Come find out what to look for and how to tend your bees with that in mind. Our speaker this month is Emily Bondor, of Santa Cruz Bee Company and President of the Santa Cruz Beekeepers Guild!

Whether you’re heading into your first summer or your fifteenth, there’s something here for every beekeeper.

Parking

Please, respect the El Rio residents:

• Never park inside the park, please park outside the mobile home community.
• Upon leaving, please keep your voices down so as not to disturb the residents.
• If you park on the street, make sure you pay your meter to avoid a ticket.
• If you park in the LENZ Arts parking lot, never block any cars. Staff sometimes stay until 7 p.m. and many park behind the building–behind the chain link fence.

We may use the Lenz Arts lot on the following conditions:

• Any parking in the lot MUST, MUST be after 6 p.m. Earlier runs the risk of towing. After 6:10 p.m. is best.
• Absolutely no blocking egress of ANY vehicle
• No parking anywhere along the fence where it says “No Parking.”
• Never assume that all cars in the lot are beekeeper cars since they are typically not.
• Please, if you see someone in the Lenz Arts parking area not parking according to these conditions, tell them that they are jeopardizing our use of this lot. If a vehicle is already situated, bring it to our attention at the meeting with a description so the owner can be notified to move it before it gets towed.
