BEEKEEPING WORKSHOP 

Mel Disselkoen - demonstrating OTS (Notching)

Making July Splits - For strong colonies and overwintering your bees.
  1. Are you frustrated with high losses of bees each year, and poor quality of queens available?
  2. Are you interested a chemical free method for controlling varroa mites?
  3. Hear an effective method for beekeeping which will harness the bee’s natural
    instincts for survival.
  4. Breed your own strong queens and colonies for winter survival and healthy spring
    bees.
Nothing new to buy, just use common sense for a sustainable beekeeping experience.

SURVEY
The Bee Informed Partnership is asking all beekeepers to take one or two short surveys.  Please visit their website and complete the surveys. It took me less than 10 minutes to complete both surveys.
