Sangre De Cristo Beekeepers

April 19
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM (MT)Webinar

Join Kaitlin Haase and Emily May, Pollinator Conservation Specialists with the Xerces Society, to learn more about opportunities to create pollinator habitat in the Santa Fe area. Kaitlin will introduce the Santa Fe Pollinator Trail, an effort to create connected, climate-resilient habitat for pollinators in urban Santa Fe. As part of the trail launch, Xerces will be making native pollinator-friendly plant kits available to interested Santa Fe residents who commit to establishing and maintaining pollinator habitat in home gardens and public spaces, such as libraries, schools, parks, etc. Join us to learn more about how you can participate in conserving pollinators in Santa Fe!

Greetings Beekeepers,
In keeping with our schedule of monthly meetings on the second Wednesday of the month during beekeeping season, we are happy to announce our first meeting of 2021 will be held via Zoom next Wednesday, March 10, starting at 6:30 PM.
Zoom Linkhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87394260634?pwd=VjlYRDNpSkFOcnVOVFJrV0tjUG9Hdz09
Meeting ID: 873 9426 0634Passcode: SDC  
We plan to have discussions on spring hive management and share our collective experiences with hive survival over this past winter.
Please join us as we are interested in hearing what you would like this year’s meetings to include.  While we want to help new beekeepers who have lots of questions, we also hope to make the meetings useful for more experienced beekeepers who want to learn more about more advanced topics as queen rearing, and overwintering nucs…. as well as simply getting beekeepers together (albeit virtually for now) to network and get to know each other and possibly forming some new mentor/mentee relationships.
Check today’s Santa Fe New Mexican.  There is a great story about recent activity here in Santa Fe to get the city named as a “Bee City”.  We will try to get someone from Xerces Society to join us and share the current status….how exciting!
