Spilling the Honey Spilling the Honey GBA Monthly Newsletter Editors: Gina Gallucci and Linda Tillman April 2015 This beautiful photo of bees in canola was taken by Rick Moore. We are so lucky to announce that Rick Moore has volunteered to be the official GBA Newsletter photographer at GBA events. Thanks so much, Rick. As always, we love all of our members’ photography (as this issue shows) and hope you all keep sending it. President’s Message Let’s Communicate! We all know that bees communicate 100% by smelling something, somebody or another bee, plus, they do the “waggle dance.” But we humans have developed a significant verbal language and a wonderful written form of communication. We do a little dance as well sometime, as we try to communicate with the opposite sex, you know, after a few drinks! But I digress. I mean, let’s communicate within the Georgia Beekeepers Association. We are doing a wonderful job with our local web sites, meetings and public classes. And the GBA webmaster, Newsletter editors, Facebook page and our meetings spill a lot of honey, but I believe that we can do much better. (continued on next page) GBA April 2015 Newsletter Page 2 Let’s start with the Newsletter. Linda Tillman and Gina Gallucci have done a tremendous job for the last few years in getting this tabloid off the ground and into your hands. They dig and dig for various articles, topics and facts to keep it interesting, and ask every month for your input with not much success. The column “Ask Aunt Bee” is very clever as a question and answer piece, and it sure would be nice to see more people sending in inquiries there as well. Our membership’s knowledge and experience stretches from “I wanna bee” to 73 years of experience. We have a large number of newbees and a big pile of Master beeks. Most of us have questions to which so many of us know the answers. So take a moment to send in your questions, articles and facts to share with each other. By doing so, you are participating in your organization and also learning. We are never too old to learn! We want to know about your experiences in the apiary, fields and forests. Don’t worry if you are afraid that you are not a very good writer: Linda will make the appriteate appropriate corrections (see, there she goes!) Our web site is a fantastic display of what we do, but could use some work. At least five times a week someone calls me with a problem with “bees” in the yard. I usually direct them to the web site and on to the tab for local clubs. Then I tell them to click on the yellow dot closest to them. All is well until they call me back and tell me that the website to the local club is out of date or incomplete for the information they need. So Presidents, please take time to ensure that your website is brought up to date with contact info, when and where you meet, etc. (If not, you may be losing out on some “free bees.” It’s swarm time!) As a member of GBA, you have the opportunity for FREE advertising on the GBA web site – bee related, of course. Just contact Bill Owens, our webmaster and communicate your changes (contact info, services, etc) with him. This information appears for free for out members on the Products and Services page. I want to believe that our state meetings are getting better with the new speakers we are attracting. The attendance is growing, and I hope it continues to do so. Each of you has the opportunity to hobnob with each other at those events and a great chance to meet others who have your same interests in mind. We welcome your comments (communication) about how we are doing and speakers you may want or a direction you think we should go. Your club Presidents were all provided with a list of Master Beekeepers in Georgia as well as other great speakers who are willing to come and speak at your monthly meetings. This is another helpful form of communication. I have had a number of clubs call me way in advance to schedule me to speak to them and that is fantastic. Club Presidents should schedule these speakers far out to ensure their availability. It really makes a difference to your membership to have a specific program for your meeting instead of just asking if anyone has any problems with their bees. Your retention rate will rise with good programs. (continued on page 3) GBA April 2015 Newsletter Page 3 The bottom line is that we can learn from each other. We all have something to contribute, we just have to get off our shy wagon and do it. Those of you who watch The Big Bang Theory on TV know that one of the characters needs to have a drink of some kind of booze just to speak to women; well lift your glasses and let’s have a toast to communicating!

GBA April 2015 Newsletter Page 5 Club News and Notes: Chattahoochee Valley Beekeepers’ Wounded Warrior Project by Paul Berry About eight months ago, a retired military member of the Chattahoochee Valley Beekeepers Association made a suggestion that we consider doing something with one of our many wounded heroes at near-by Fort Benning. That suggestion started a firestorm of discussion on what we should do and how best to do it. Out of that discussion came what we now call our version of a "Wounded Warrior Project." We solicited donations, first from our members, then from a vendor or two. We set up a collection jar at each meeting to collect cash to buy what we couldn't get donated. Our members donated tools and protective clothing, all before we had even solicited a hero who might have interest. As the time approached for us to begin our six week long beekeeping course, we submitted an article to the Bayonette Newspaper, asking for a volunteer. Almost immediately, we had a young, enthusiastic wounded Lt. Col. call. He was emphatic that if an enlisted hero or lower ranking hero should apply, he would step aside. That didn't happen, which was fine with us, because Lt. Col. Gannaway has the excitement and enthusiasm we hoped to find. Since that time, a millwork company donated some wooden ware, frames and foundation and Fred and Ann Rossman donated a complete beginners beehive. Lt. Col. Gannaway has been attending our Saturday afternoon classes and is enjoying putting some of his equipment together, anticipating the arrival of his bees, as are all the other participants in our course. He will keep his hive in our public apiary at Oxbow Meadows Environmental Learning Center since he is still on active duty and lives on Post. At Oxbow, he can care for his hive and participate in the caring for the other hives as well. Thanks to our hero, our experience has been wonderful and we hope to offer it every year. Heart of Georgia Beekeeping 101 Report by Rick Moore Heart of Georgia Beekeepers offered their annual Beekeeping 101 class and field exercise on Saturday, March 21, 2015. The class was held at the Camp John Hope located near Fort Valley, Georgia. In attendance were over 100 soon to be beekeepers and persons interested in beekeeping. The morning session was started by GBA President and local Club member Bear Kelley who spoke on bees, followed by Broadus Williams about equipment, Ricky Moore on activities in and out of the hive, and Marybeth Kelley on Safety.

  • National Forest Use and Outdoor Recreation Constraints
    NATIONAL FOREST USE AND OUTDOOR RECREATION CONSTRAINTS ACROSS FOUR ETHNIC AND MINORITY POPULATIONS IN GEORGIA by SUSAN ELIZABETH PARKER (Under the Direction of Gary T. Green) ABSTRACT The people of the United States enjoy and recreate on public lands including national forests which provide a variety of settings and opportunities for various outdoor recreation activities. Additionally, recent research has shown the overall percentage of participation in outdoor recreation activities is increasing; however, participation rates are shifting within the available activity options. This outdoor recreation activity shift combined with declining budgets and changes in population demographics are resulting in outdoor recreation managers being challenged to meet the demands of their visitors. Therefore, this study examined forest-based outdoor recreation patterns, preferences, and constraints across four ethnic and minority populations in northern Georgia. This study collected and examined data from two survey areas: on-site and off-site. On-site data were collected using intercept surveys at three sites within the Chattahoochee National Forest which represented the range of recreational facilities and recreation areas available in the national forest. Off-site data were collected using intercept surveys at sites within 70 miles of the Chattahoochee National Forest border and included two flea markets in northern Georgia as well as city, county, and state parks. The research protocol was developed and tested during a pilot test in 2010. The resulting self-administered intercept survey was used to obtain a sample of 1,045 respondents on-site at three national forest recreational sites and 1,005 respondents off-site at various recreational sites in metro Atlanta.

Does starting out so cold in Georgia predict a hard winter? Photo credits upper right going clockwise: Linda Tillman, Gina Gallucci, Bruce Morgan, Linda Tillman Message from our President: Season’s Greetings to all our members! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that most of your traditional recipes were splattered with local honey instead of all that processed sugar. Now that Turkey day is over with, it’s time to say Merry Christmas! Natural Honey products make the best darn gifts and certainly sweeten up the season. As we prepare for the New Year, let’s reflect on 2013. The year opened with a wonderful spring meeting down at the Lake Blackshear Resort in February. Then everyone went to work waking up their bees and getting them used to working GBA December 2013 Newsletter Page Two hard as the weather warmed up. A lot of Nucs and package bees were sold by our local distributors and placed in their new homes. The programs at Young Harris were in full swing in May with new Honey Judges getting their cap and gowns, and Newly Certified, Journeymen and Master Beekeepers were sent off to work. Our fall meeting in September had a change of association officers with new ideas and hopes that we can keep this wonderful organization together by generating new interests, membership and rewarding meetings. The fall Honey Show recognized Cindy Hodges and many others for their work in producing a fine product with very high standards.
