SUMMARY:Mirza Tihic - Guild Monthly Meeting - Third Thursday
DESCRIPTION:This month’s Door Prize for in person attendees will be a 3 lb package from Mark Antunes of Honey Hill Farm!!!!     \n\n\n\n\nMirza Tihic is a beekeeper and faculty member at Syracuse University in the College of Professional Studies and adjunct professor of entrepreneurship with the Department of Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises (EEE) at the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University. \n\n\n\nHis research focuses on the intersection of entrepreneurship and disability. His research aims to expand the traditional barriers related to small business services and include the complete entrepreneurial ecosystem of people with disabilities and veterans. An interest of Tihic is understanding the broader social network and its role in influencing entrepreneurial decisions given the disability-related challenges they face. \n\n\n\n\nHe has recently initiated a project studying what actually drives us as beekeepers\, and how we think about success beyond just honey yields. Please take the survey! \n\n\n\nHis survey below asks questions other research has never bothered with—like how our connection to nature and the bees themselves shape what we do\, and what thriving really means in this work. \n\n\n\nIt would be very helpful if you were to take the survey either before or after the meeting (you can always stop and continue the survey anytime): https://syracuseuniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0CKrvvt9Cf5gTQO \n\n\n\nThe survey covers beekeepers from backyard hobbyists to commercial operations\, across multiple states and countries. I’m hoping to publish findings that actually reflect our reality\, not just what academics think matters. \n\n\n\nPlease come with your questions and thoughts on this fascinating but little explored topic. \n\n\n\nBeekeeping Focus\n\n\n\nThis month we’re going to be talking about boxes. One of the decisions you need to make when you start beekeeping is what kind of boxes you want to use. Your equipment will be a big investment and there are a lot of choices\, not all of them obvious. \n\n\n\nWe will have a panel of experienced beekeepers who will talk about the pros and cons of various types of equipment with a focus on the humble bee box. \n\n\n\nWe meet at 7pm at St. James School.  🐝

SUMMARY:Solstice Pot Luck
DESCRIPTION:Every year the beekeepers of Philadelphia come together to celebrate the Winter Solstice also known as the shortest day and the start of winter. It’s a dire passage from darkness to gradual lightening which we celebrate. We don’t go too far with these celebrations. This is a family friendly event. We may have a bonfire. We will have food. \n\n\n\nWe will do the traditional ceremony that ensures the effectiveness of our mite controls and the adequacy of our winter stores. These are important concerns and should not be left to chance. A little ritual is always a good idea. \n\n\n\nSo Join Us! – whether you’re a new or long term guild member or a current or future volunteer or want to learn more about the beekeepers guild and meet our friendly welcoming community\, please join us at our potluck winter solstice. Bring a dish to share or come as you are. Future volunteers – no need to bring food unless you want to – you’re welcome and we’d love to meet you!  \n\n\n\nYou can RSVP at the link below!
