The meeting this month will be moved to May 17th since May 10th is Mother’s Day. We have to celebrate and take care of the queens of our hives for Mother’s Day so…NO MEETING SUNDAY, MAY 10.

Please come join us on Sunday, May 17th at 2:00 PM in the Ed Jones Auditorium at Ellington Ag Center for our monthly NABA meeting. Our featured speaker for May will be Theresa Martin. She will be speaking about her book, “Dead Bees Don’t Make Honey: 10 Tips for Healthy Productive Bees”. This will definitely be a meeting you do not want to miss.

Theresa Martin Bio

Theresa Martin is the author of Dead Bees Don’t Make Honey: 10 Tips for Healthy Productive Bees, which includes a Foreword by Dr. Thomas Seeley. Theresa has achieved 99% colony survival and honey production that is twice the local average in her eight years as a beekeeper, with 20–25 colonies in Kentucky. She practices nature-based beekeeping, which is a methodology that places bee health as the highest priority and optimal pathway to productivity. Following the model of how bees survive in the wild, employing integrated pest management, and providing high support yet low intervention, she demonstrates that healthy, alive bees are more productive than sick or dead bees. Theresa is a Cornell Master Beekeeper, 2024 Kentucky State Beekeeper of the Year, and President of the Kentucky State Beekeepers Association. She is also a writer for Bee Culture Magazine.

She worked at Fidelity Investments and Procter & Gamble in information technology and operations management.
