The Texas Beekeepers Association Delegates have set the date of June 20th, 2009, for the annual Summer Clinic. This year it is being hosted by Dr. Albert and Marjorie Molnar who live just east of Webberville, Texas, at the Travis-Bastrop County line. This year the program is aimed at informing beekeepers of the proper use of equipment, showing new equipment and new methods used by beekeepers in Texas.

Registration for the event will begin at 10:30 AM and will be followed by a free period to fellowship and story swapping before lunch. The noon meal of Texas style Bar-B-Que will come with all the trimmings. The registration fee this year is going to be $12 each for adult members and spouses. The price for the same meal for children 18 and under is only going to be $7.50. The registration for non-member adults is $15.00.

After lunch there will be different training stations set up for the mini classes. There is an abundance of shade trees to keep you cool, but bring your favorite lawn chair to help you remain comfortable while you eat and enjoy the afternoon. In the event of rain there is a big dry barn that will be used.

The Molnar’s are just 27 minutes east of IH35 on FM 969. Take Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd east off of IH35 (just south of UT campus) and continue eastward on MLK, which becomes FM 969 at US Hwy 183. Passing under SH130 (Toll Road) continue on FM 969 through Webberville and stop at the Travis – Bastrop County line. The Molnar’s are at 20920 FM 969 on the north side of the road, an American flag pole at the driveway entrance (across from the storage buildings). You may select an alternate (shorter) route after consulting your Texas map.
