2009 Winter Meeting: We wish to thank all those who attended the 2009 CSBA Winter meeting in Longmont, CO. We now have a new volunteer who has offered to bring new life and a new approach to the B- Notes. We also had great input from the various beekeeping associations and clubs concerning the future relationship between the local clubs and the state organization. A summit is being proposed in which the officers of the various clubs and the state association will meet and chart the course for a closer working relationship going forward.
