CVBA’s King Bee

While few hives have one, CVBA has its very own King Bee. Member Jack Price dons his fancy head gear during the June CVBA meeting.

Need to requeen your hives? Queen bee breeder and CVBA member Robert Gobel sis currently breeding Minnesota Hygienic Italian Queens. These are disease and mite resistant bees.
Get your queen before they’re gone. They’re a bargain at only $20 each.
For more information, call Robert at 423-733-8623.
