2011 Bee Club Banquet

Nearly 60 beekeepers and their guests gathered at the Sugarcreek United Church of Christ for the club's annual banquet on Saturday, January 29. The club's youth beekeepers were recognized and attendees were treated to a discussion about making splits with Dr. James Tew of the Ohio State University's Bee Lab in Wooster.

President Ron Garabrandt recognized four youth beekeepers in the club. Pictured with him are Bubba Garabrant and Derek Alander. (Zoe Bosler and Dustin Stoll are not pictured.)

President Ron Garabrandt recognized Eric Alander, Dan Andrews, Connie Lechleitner and Arlene Sigrist for their contributions to the club.

Dr. James Tew eagerly signed the certificates our youth beekeepers received.

TCBC officers for 2011 are Ron Garabrandt, president; Jona Scott, treasurer; Doug Hood, vice president and librarian; and Connie Lechleitner, secretary.
