Leicester Knights of Columbus Hall
Manville Road, Leicester, MA
Speaker: Glenn Cornell
Topic: The Queen Rearing Initiative in Plymouth County

Bring a dish and join us for our 2nd chef supper of the season. After our meal, the directors of the Queen Rearing Initiative in Plymouth County, Glen Cornell and Dave Hayden, will present to us how they started the queen rearing project raising Northern Bred Queens using the best stock of the PCBA members to product a strong Northern Bred Queen strain. The power point presentation will enlighten the WCBA on how to proceed with such a venture if our organization so desires. A must for all those wishing to improve their bee stock and how to produce queens. Come out and bring a dish big enough to serve 10 people, based on the first letter of your last name. Remember to bring your own tableware.
