Come and join us on Thursday, April 11 at 11:30 in Miller Hall! Luke Harvey, local beekeeper and active member in the HOI Beekeepers Association will be our speaker. The Heart of Illinois Beekeepers Association (HIBA) is dedicated to the development of good beekeeping management and practices, the pollination of agricultural crops, the production of honey and honey related food products, and the general education for and about honeybees. HIBA serves Peoria, Tazewell, and Woodford counties, as well as the surrounding areas. Beekeeping can be an exciting hobby or full blown career. Amateurs and professionals alike meet to discuss the latest in beekeeping, diseases and pests, hive management, honey production, public interest in bees, and Mother Nature.

The main dish and drinks will be provided for $5.00. If your last name begins with A-K, please bring a dessert, and a side dish if L-Z. Sign up sheet will be posted on the bulletin board in the office hallway.
