Who We Are
The NORTHWEST branch of the New Jersey Beekeepers Association is a regional organization of anywhere
from 40 to 60 bee hobbyist and sideliners (less than 300 hives). Our members generally reside in the
Hunterdon, Warren and Somerset counties but membership is not limited to this region of the state.
NWNJBA Scholarships
Scholarship funds are available through the NWNJBA for youths interested in the
Rutgers Extension Bee-ginner's
beekeeping class. If you are interested in submitting a request, or know of a youth with an interest
in beekeeping who would like to be considered, submit a two to three paragraph stating your general
interest in beekeeping. Submissions can be sent to the NWNJBA President Charles Ilsley by clicking this
link. If you have any questions, about the scholarship program please reach out to Charles
via phone (on our contact page) or e-mail.

NWNJBA VP Bob Kloss checked in on the club's mentoring hives.
Two are heavy and one needed to be fed. Lots of activity and the
bees are bringing in beige and yellow pollen.

Thanks to all attendees. It was a long day and a lot of work to prepare for the meeting but at the end of the day it was a gratyfing experience. If you were able to attend, we hope you enjoyed the meeting and we'd like to thank you for being a part of it.

A tired crew takes a breather after the meeting to snap a quick photo.
Gadget Garage
One of the more popular stations on the day was the gadget garage.
If you missed the handout, here is a

We've been hard at work placing our video collection in YouTube for consumption. Using YouTube makes the video access more viable for mobile consumption and more compatible with computing platform differences from Microsoft and Apple.
We'll continue to move our videos up and use this as a resource to get some quick hit videos up of timely activities that pop up.
