The deadline is coming up for our directory of our group. If there is anyone who wants to be in out phone book, please contact me by no later then May 28th.

I designed this phone directory for our bee needs, to allow beekeepers or other members to be able to call someone if they need help.

There will be extra blank pages in the back of the phnoe directory to add new members or information as we get it.

If there is any one thing that you may specialize in for example Jim Withers may teach about beekeeping to our local schools, or Bob Hollis and his woodware.

So please get with me before then as I am putting it to print on May 29th. So it will be ready for our June meeting.

Thank you all for your cooperation.

Any one looking a reasonable white beesuit for their youngsters in the 4-H group.
I found some white coveralls that are same material as the suits ordered from Dadant.

The white coveralls are $9.99 come in sizes small and medium. The suits are reasonable enough that they can be tailored to fit your youngster.

If anyone needed help with shortening, or putting velcro on the arms and legs please let me know.

Any one interested contact me at midmichiganbeekeppers@gmail.com

Take care and have a great day
