Hello,
          I'm Russ Dean Your webmaster. The one that trys to keep these pages up to date with information WVBA thinks will help keep you informed about many different things.
         I mentioned at the fall 2007 beekeepers conference idea and wanted to post a note for you to read here. Some of you not have got or don't know how to run a website. I might be a little slow but I make this offer. If your association wants a website, WVBA can provide you with a simple single page web site to provide a little information to your beekeepers and the general public. Your page would not change much so you would have to come up with what you'd like on it along with a contact person for your group. Then maybe in the future you'd like to open one on your own.
          Have you visited the photo page? About the first of the month I try to post a whole new page of about 12 photographs from events thats happened the month before. These if you can copy and paste them into you picture section of your computer. Aretha Kees at the fall meeting let me scan one whole photo book as historical photo's you can do the same their but please alway give credit to her as I will too. She has documented us down thru the years which is a great treasure to see. Hers will be coming up later.
          Do you have a local fair or other event that has honey shows where you've won a ribbon and like to crow about it? Send me a list of all that won, and I'll post it all. Judges or fair officals are very helpful on this. They like the free advertisment. And I keep this as a record.
          Like to share a recipe thats got honey? We got one whole page just for this. If it's your recipe and like to share send it in and I'll post it. I know some that thinks these are yummy. If it belongs to someone else permission to post it would be needed. A honey recipe on the internet can be posted as a link so just email me the link.
          So much news involving bees are out there. Like today Cabel/Wayne sent one in on the bee beard and it was from China (written in english). These are most the time a link posting. Just send me the link to the story. Hardly any association uses it but you can post have posted information on your local area. Just answer the who, what, where, when and it should cover it plus add a contact person.
          It's a sad day when one of our beekeeping friend dies. A special section for that is provided to tell all of our friends. If you can send me the infomation like from the obituary. If you have a picture those are nice too.
          Did you see on the main page Queens 2008 and wonder what that is? Thats just a little reminder if you have your queens marked the color code for 2008 is red. I never can remember what the color for the next year is. I have to look it up. So hope this helps.
          Last. If you have something you want posted. You want it send it in early with a release date just say when. I delt with this all the time when I freelanced with the newspapers.
           
          If you have any helpful questions, comments, or suggestions just send them in. Some I might need to take to the board or the membership like I did at the fall meeting.
