Welcome to (almost) summer, 2025!
Hope you've all had a good spring. Bees are very busy already packing in the nectar and already capping honey, and it isn't even June yet! Could be a great honey year. Wait and see.
The past couple years, ECIBA has held its own summer field day. This year, it was decided that members would be encouraged to attend the Iowa Honey Producers Association summer field day, in large part to the fact that it will be located just up in Mt. Vernon at Ebert Honey. See the link below for information about the event. Since our budget is adequate at this time, we will be reimbursing members to attend the field day. Speakers, demonstrations and a lunch are included. Our president, Joe, will soon be sending out an email regarding event and reimbursement. Please look for that in your inbox.
Hope to see you in Mt. Vernon.
