Swarm Season
The season when healthy and flourishing colonies get the urge to swarm. In our area, healthy and overcrowded colonies of honey bees will usually swarm in May and June.

Elected Officers
The elected officers are non-compensated positions. In other words, none of the office positions are compensated (paid) for the duties of the office or time spent. The officers are elected at the December meeting of each year. They are however, re-reimbursed for approved expenses incurred.
