Bee Aware

Aloha All, This coming Friday nite will tip off the start of a series of presentations on the life cycle and challenges of he honey bee here in Hawaii. Dennis Morihiro is a elder that has worked with bees for the past 25 years.
Its heartening to know that he is open to share his knowledge and experience with the community at large.

Our conference is now 32 days away. There has been much done to prepare and still much to do. Today I sent out 21 soil samples of folks that had the foresight to sign up for soil analysis with their early registration. Sept 22nd marks the end of early registration without soil analysis and at this point we have 30 registrations, making it the most we have had this far out from the conference over the eight years weve done these events.

It is very timely with alot of the soil samples coming in from ladies which doesn't surprise me since the ladies are the ones who are sensitized to environment and when the awareness needs to be raised they show up.


Speaking of showing up were hoping that they and others that are growing food and selling it will show up at the Kula Community Center this Saturday Sept 13. at 5:30 annual meeting of Maui County Farm Bureau to vote for new board members who want to implement programs in support of our small farmers. Namely Gerry Ross, Chuck Boerner, Steve Wilson, Bob Howerton and Vincent Mina.
