The beekeeping members toured Bee Squared Apiary and learned about their operation, how they run their hives and their honey house, and got to see where they make beeswax candles. The members also had the opportunity to taste the different infused honey flavors, such as spiced rum honey and espresso honey.

We have scheduled a fishing outing for Friday, May 27 from 8:00–11:00 a.m. at Buckingham Reservoir on the west side of Loveland. This is a private lake that Colorado Parks and Wildlife officer Clayton Brossart has retained permission to fish, and he will be hosting our trip. He will have bait/lures for crappie fishing. If you wish to fish for bass, bring your own bait/lures. This will be a catch-and-release experience.
The dam of Buckingham Reservoir is on the east side, and parking is on the shoulder of First Street. Leaders and parents are welcome to attend. But remember that anyone 16 and older MUST have a Colorado fishing license. Please RSVP to Cindy if you plan to attend so she has a count of members and parents who will be participating.
What a great way to end the school year and get a kickoff to Sportfishing/Outdoor Skills with a field trip!
