The Portage County Beekeepers Association is looking for a few good men and women for the Calling Committee. What is the Calling Committee? Those are the people who contact you by phone about a week before our meetings as a friendly reminder. As a member of the committee you will be given a list of 5 to 10 names and phone numbers and all you have to do is give them a call. To volunteer, please contact Fred Lauck at 330-673-7432.

The Portage County Beekeepers Association
is an organization for the novice and professional beekeepers in the Portage County Ohio area.
Joining is easy. For just $5.00 per year you can enjoy all the benefits of our organization including
our meetings, Field Day and Summer Picnic.
During Field Day we have a hands-on learning experience. We open hives, check for the queen, look for warning
signs of problem, such as varroa mites or hive beetles, and have many experienced beekeepers ready to answer your
questions. You don't want to miss this opportunity.
We have a mentoring program for new beekeepers or anyone who would like some personal help.
Feel free to contact any of our mentors from the list on the left.
Thank you for looking and we hope to see you soon.
