Corn Syrup Give Away #1
In an effort to help honey bees, Ingredion Inc of Winston Salem has offered once again to provide Forsyth County Beekeepers Association bulk corn syrup for distribution to our members to feed their bees.
Rules:
1. The stipulation with this offer is our association can't sell what we receive and no one receiving it from us can sell this corn syrup.
2. Bring your own containers with lids. 5-gallon buckets work best (please - no milk jugs or juice containers). Make sure they don't leak!
3. Please be prepared to carry and lift your own syrup into your vehicle. Bring help if you need it.
We have had a few members step forward to work out the logistics of filling and transporting 4 totes (approximate 300 gallons each) of corn syrup to Jan Hus Lane Bethania NC 27010 for distribution to FCBA members to pick up their allotment of corn syrup on Saturday, September 5the from 9am to 12pm.
Each member will be limited up to a max of 20 gallons on first run. There are about 300 gallons per tote or 60 five-gallon buckets per tote. After we have distributed all initial amounts we will let everyone line up again and get seconds until we run out.
We are getting 4 totes per give away for a total of 12 totes.
We plan to have a second and third distribution in the next month and will forward those ASAP.
Please remember you can't sell the syrup you receive from this program. It is each registered member's responsibility to bring containers that will not leak and can hold the liquid dispensed. Last but not least this is a benefit for our members only. If you have some one who is interested all they have to do is become a member and then register for the program.
We could use some volunteers to help with directing folks and helping to load peoples buckets the day of the event. Please contact John Rogers jwrogers312@gmail.com or 229-740-9418 if you can help.
